I wish I had a choice...
In my line of work there are very few desk positions, everybody's a freelancer.
- Except the bureaus have all figured out that it's a horrible mess to deal with freelancers across borders (and translators are likely to be an international bunch), so every freelancer has to be a company: Selling and buying services over the border is much much simpler than hiring over the border.
So I have to deal with all kinds of red tape, which makes my spine crawl.
So I definitely get your point. Just can't choose, meself.
