    Hey piperboytoy,

    Man your in exactly the same spot as me! I used to freelance all the time doing small creative jobs, but no great amounts of cash, but at least I enjoyed my work.

    For money, and portfolio (same as you) I started at an agency doing big projects for large corporate companies, and I HATED IT!

    I couldn't afford to go back to freelance (rent, bills, booze etc..). So I found a happy medium... I negotiated with my agency (ran in one day with dynamite strapped to me!)... and I now work for the same agency only 3 days-a-week, for a guaranteed paycheck each month, which takes the risk out of freelancing, and I freelance the rest of the time!

    Pretty cool eh, and yeah I guess I jumped into the unknown and got lucky, but at least I tried.

    Just a thought mate... there's light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck :)
