THat book is pretty basic if you ask me, I got it for some wise insights and found most of it to be common sense.
You cannot buy experience I was in fulltime for just over 3 years and then was forced into freelance - I had left one (bigger) studio, about to start at another (smaller) and they turned around a week b4 I was meant to start and said they couldn't afford to take me on. I still feel I need more experience (5 more years) but as I am still earning a good income after 1.25yrs I have become far more picky.
What I would say is stay in as long as you can bear it, keep applying for other studios and if you really want to take the leap do it. Remember it is harder to get a (fulltime) job when your out of work than it is when your in.
Ultimtaely you need to be happy, and working for yourself, is sometimes very unhappy, lonely and stressful
