This is very relatable. I quit graphic design freelancing because I was tired of similar things.
With the added bonus that I had creative burnout.
Now I’m working a corporate job and flirting with the idea of doing art again with a different approach. I will add cons and prints to my list!

Thank you for the piece, it was interesting and insightful to read.

I hear this!!

Not that I'm even on your level, but a big reason I went back to school and am looking for more "normal" employment is not just for the stable money-- it's so that I can make the work I really want to be making, and be able to be more selective about the clients/projects I do take on.

oh sick i also want to quit freelance

Thanks for writing this!! Very insightful (and quite relatable)
