I feel like I'm running into this problem, to an extent. I'll revise what the OP said, though: I think freelancing right out of the gate is great when you're young and don't need a super reliable income -- you get to experiment and learn in a low stakes environment (because nobody is handing you million dollar accounts) where no one is constantly lookig over your shoulder. However, I'm starting to find that there are limits to how much I can learn on my own, and there's a limit to how successful I can be at this without any real industry ties.
- stevewillows 13y agoI came here to write this exact thing. I'm 33 and freelanced for the better part of the last 15 years. At the time I thought it was a blessing, but the industry I mainly serve is over saturated and I'm finding it difficult to find a group that will hire someone like me. If I could do it again I would have gone to school and worked through an agency as my main stream while working on select projects in the side.
