Editing can be a bit tricky when it comes to finances. It might not pay as well as you hope right off the bat—I've seen experienced editors struggle to make ends meet. It’s a valuable skill, but don't rely solely on it for financial stability, especially at the beginning.

Definitely, it’s worth learning to edit! Even with AI advancements, understanding the basics of editing is crucial. It helps you identify when AI tools might be missing the mark or misinterpreting your ideas. Plus, editing is a key skill for clear communication, especially useful if you're working in a second language.
