Okay, I say that because the economy's lousy and like everyone who's trying to make a living by freelancing, I'm fretting about money these days. :) But I did like my full-time web writing gig that I had a few years ago. I learned a lot, it paid a reliable paycheck, and I had good benefits. And I still freelance for that company today. I guess you just have to decide what suits your needs and go from there.
