Anyone considering specializing in fundraising?

[SaraBeth]

I just completed the Event and Wedding Planning course and I'm seriously considering specializing in fundraising. I'm not sure of the best way to go about that- should I try to find a position with a local non-profit organization, hospital or charity, or should I try my luck at becoming a freelance fundraising consultant so I could offer my services to any area organization? Any thoughts or advice is appreciated!
