> Otherwise my existence makes no sense Can I ask seriously, are you OK? Because freelancing for depressive/negative reasons makes no sense. You should trust me on this because I freelanced for depressive/negative reasons and it has trapped me. > I can get back to school and wage-slavery at any point in my life later Don't be so sure. It does get harder, and one day you will not be able to ignore the things you cannot afford (healthcare, time off, if nothing else). Going back to school will cost you more, and it's harder to get into a job from long-term freelancing (except by being recruited by one of your stable clients). What I would advise, if you're already freelancing, is to try as much as possible to make it worthwhile, because it's always going to suck in terms of income. Find a way you can really contribute, find a way for your freelancing to help you build a life. Or travel, work remotely from somewhere that changes the way you see things. To be blunt, railing against corporatocracy isn't a business plan, basically. The trendy kind of "alternative way of working" is almost always backed by angel investors, NGOs, charities or parents.
