    i switched from permanent to freelance this year. digging it so far, but i think if i had anything that most people give a shit about (family / houses / things that cost money) i'd stick to something steady. being uninsured kind of blows.

    but being able to work at night and not sit in an office is worth so much more to me than that. i think it depends on what type of personality you are. i have plenty of friends who are designers because that's what they went to school for, not because they're wandering creative types, which suits more toward a freelance and less agency style.

    • yup the kids and family make it harder to take the freelance leap . . .timeless
    • - but you're able to freelance on the sidetimeless
