Im 43 and I've been freelancing since I started 20 years ago. I hear what you're saying. These two things worry me:
1- If my freelance dries up and I have to get a 'real job', I am not sure how many agencies would hire me based on the fact that I don't have 'real world' agency experience. I rent space from a smaller design firm but thats been the extent of it.
2- I don't know how to do anything that is not creative. I work on TV commercials and photography shoots, so everything that I do is in the creative world.
I understand where you're coming from. I don't want to end up working in a non-creative job, like Best Buy or something like that.
Maybe just keep doing what you're doing and plan ahead. I wish I had more advice.
- I'd hire a freelancer any time. You've proven you don't need supervision to get things done. Plus you understand that 9 to 5 is bullshit...zarkonite
