I am talking about getting started, now, in the age of ChatGPT.

You can hire if you need to, but the dynamics in work might shift that it's just a whole new ballgame. "enterprise contract" in ten years might be a meaningless term.

Would you recommend the solopreneur path for someone like me?

I’m a soon to be new grad with a year of experience and no luck getting another entry level job so far. It doesn’t help that I don’t have a drivers license or car, and just recovered from years of health issues. My life circumstances have really closed a lot of doors for me. I need flexibility and preferably WFH (this was a requirement for me before COVID, due to other health issues).

It’s risky, you lose benefits, and it’s probably a terrible idea for a mere junior according to all the advice I hear… Even in your article, your advice is to “find what you’re an expert at” but I’m not an expert of anything :( I’m very much a jack of all trades, master of none. But still, I’m willing to change that, and it feels like the ideal (perhaps the only viable) lifestyle for me. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
