General rule:
<35 years old & single = Freelance. The world is your oyster.
>35 years old & married w/ kids = Full Timer. Bills to pay & mouths to feed. Stability and soul-sucking sell-outness is your friend.There are always exceptions, though. And personally speaking I did the freelance hustle plenty, but found out quickly that my pre-existing condition made it impossible for me to support myself because I couldn't get health care. Within six months, I was spending over $2k on meds, which ate through my freelance dough pretty quick. Now that I'm married with kids and over 30, I'm firmly in the full-time category.
But since I'm the sole bread-winner, I freelance all the time on top of it, and pursue my own creative work as well.
Never stop pushing.
