That is something I have been thinking about (going freelance) but the few times I've tried, the projects are just sooo crappy and messy that I just don't see myself doing that.

I have not been able to figure out how to handle cleints that want to have technical input (i.e. no, the way you are asking me to build your online store will not work and will just leave me on the hook when it fails), so I always shy away from that kind of work.

Definitely considering it though. I guess I just need to figure out where to learn how to handle clients.

Thanks!

It varies so much from client to client. Bigger projects tend to go better than with penny-pinching SMBs, but occasionally small clients are really fun to work with.

Better yet is not to have direct customers and sell a product, but that's much harder to get right I think.
