For me, every advantage of freelancing cast some kind of shadow. For example, I was free to manage my own time, but I never quite felt like my time was mine. I was my own boss, but I had to knuckle under the wants and wills of more types of bosses at once (each client). There was heaps of variety, but I wanted to say no to about 60% of the work I did (but I couldn't $$).
So in the end, what did I really want? All the things I got and none of them!
