    Freelance position all the way. I know that I can't kiss enough butt to survive in the corporate world and it holds absolutely no interest for me. A very samrt man told me once that the only way to be happy and successful is to work for yourself. :)

    I would definitely love to be a freelancer. I like to have freedom in my work and I do not think it can be any better than that. I do believe that one can learn by being freelancer

    What about retirement funds? can you set them up if you are a freelancer?

    This really depends on the warranties I would have as a freelancer. If I saw I could make enough money I'd go for that, otherwise I would have to go corporate.

    I would prefer to have a corporate life over any other kind of life. I think it is best to make money in that way than any other way. I think it is great to have it in that way.

    If I were given a choice I would do both. I would have a corporation and have it as my main focus to gain revenue. I would be a freelance as well so on my free time I would be able to make some extra money for myself.

    I would definitely like to be a freelancer than be a employees for someone else. It is really difficult to try out something that is not done before but the experience is worth it.

    I definitely prefer the lifestyle of being a freelancer. That being said, I would take a good corporate job if it paid well enough.

    I personally have had the opportunity to have a corporate job and I didn't find it to be anything worth getting excited about. There was alot to deal with that included traffic, trying to ensure I was exhibiting ethics of excellence even though someone was being a complete jerk and trying to work those long hours at night to complete work that would take someone else weeks to complete. I much prefer being a freelancer. There is more control in being a freelancer versus working for someone else and you can control you bottom-line income.
