Well, it can be yeah, but the day-by-day realities of freelancing is that it's typically one or the other.
Example:
By the time a freelancer is called in for a job on the agency side, the idea/concept phase is already done, as is the setting of the art direction. Agencies typically call in the freelance guns for execution, though sometimes it does happen they get them in on pitches for ideas.So that's where your financial success is, executing someone else's ideas at a 450/day.
The flip-side is that your own clients may or may not be able to afford your handsome day rate, but at least you're in on a project at the very beginning, hence the creative success.
