Recently I have been reading[1][2][3][4] about more and more people freelancing and I'm wondering if that has been a conscious decision towards personal liberation from 9 to 5, or rather a side effect of the 2008 crisis and the shortage of jobs thereafter.
In short for those who made the switch either voluntarily or involuntarily do you feel that you are getting more personal fulfillment from your work and would you go back to a 9 to 5 job if you had the opportunity?[1] https://www.fastcompany.com/3049532/the-future-of-work/heres-why-the-freelancer-economy-is-on-the-rise
