I left "freelancing" to do "Contracting" as I was in a similar position.
Alas this also means that I often need to actually turn up to the clients office.
Working though an agency has similar issues, as you describe, but let's face it - no-one likes paying their bills or pay the full whack for stuff.
It's just the cost of doing business.
The only way (that I can see) to totally escape is to actually make something other people will want to buy and sell direct.

There are many consultants (myself included) who make a living consulting, have fantastic clients, work remotely, and are able to deliver massive value to those clients without having to work through middle-men.
- opless 12y agoMy comment was rather negative, and I agree it's possible, personally I try to keep to a few small but busy clients and avoid agents when I can. However when you're having a bad period, or just get tired of it all, the temptation to pack up and do something else can be very tempting :)
