Personally I would rather be around a good group of friends than sitting alone at home by myself staring at a wall. Doesn't matter if the projects are good/bad on either side of the fence. I've done both and I prefer the office, friendships, no paperwork, no project managing and a steady paycheck.

(Jul 25 07, 18:36)I agree with this in the sense that while I love being on my own, but I also need to get out of the house every once in a while. And I know that I wouldn't do it as much if I were a freelancer. I love the freedom that comes with freelancing, but there is also more of a tendency to get lazy (in my case, at least).

but not much free time outside of the office - at least not around here in the big apple where i've been + long commutes.
however, i'm a little young to start freelancing now... gotta build up the portfolio and work and that can only be easily done by working a full - time job for a while.

(Jul 25 07, 19:11)Exactly. I can't really freelance much right now because I have to build up the portfolio first.
As for the full-time job I have right now, it's primarily only for the summer (although one can argue that going to school full-time is work in and of itself, but without pay). I get bored all the time, but I also like the stability and money that comes with it. It also depends on who you're working with. Unfortunately most of the people I work with could be my parents.
