Perks of a misfit life

It is highly possible that you ask yourself whether or not your freelance lifestyle can give you what you need now or in the future. Being a Misfit by necessity, coincidence or accident is what your professional career stage brought you.
Doubts and concerns apart, let's face it, the Misfit life gives you perks. A lot of them.
You are free, you master your own schedule, the magic word "no" is always on your side.
Let's consider the perks of the work routine cycle of a Freelance Professional:

1. Knowledge: most - if not all - IT professionals not in the sales or other bureaucratic career have an untamed passion for technology and hunger for knowledge. If you are a Misfit you can focus on your passion, even during slower seasons, you can take those classes or certification exams you thought you would never have time to.
2. Travel: you do not need to look much for projects in other cities, states, countries, continents. All expenses paid in full.
3. People: different people, different ideas. People with similar background and expertise with different approach or point of view. People with different background and expertise that share your interests and hobbies. Doesn't get any better than this.
