I've been freelancing a lot lately but it's still doesn't add up to my salaried full-time position. I would have to work 20+ similar freelance jobs/year to bring me even close to my salary. And that doesn't cover benefits.
My full-time is actually a pretty cushy in-house gig and because of a host of personal obligations (Infant at home, house, student loans, etc.) I couldn't honestly set the freelance ship asail in good conscience right now. Thankfully, the gig is pretty insulated against ignorant management and an inept marketing department. My team pretty much offers their own level of expertise and service to the rest of the company as a whole while taking on some external paying work. All in all it's a good gig for now.
