I currently work a daily 8-5 job doing .NET and some (at 27 years old, you can laugh at this) COBOL. on the side I freelance web work and am considering trying freelance full time. While I would end up working longer hours, I actually enjoy the freelance and I wouldn't be stuffed in a cube daily and forced to use really weird tools. So, when I'm on a freelance project, total I pull close to 14 hour days for about a month straight (and work weekends), but then the job will complete and I'll be waiting while they spec out another one for about a month, I use that time to work on side projects.
