5. Diversity. As a freelancer, I have worked on several large projects and a couple of smaller ones in the past few years. I saw many different processes and learned the advantages and disadvantages of them. I had to learn and use new technologies in every project. I worked with a lot of people, some of them really talented, some not so much, but I learned something from all of them. All of this was interesting and exciting. Working 9-5 for a company would have exposed me to exactly one development process and one set of technologies. Not much to learn here, and less fun too.
