I'm an introvert and loathe office politics, so I took the plunge several years ago and went full-time freelance writer. I work from home, and the majority of my communications are via email, with only the occasional call/video conference when required. I sacrificed the security of employee benefits, but the upside is I also don't deal with other employees, have no commute, wear whatever I want to work and have a cat on my desk.
There's no amount of money that would drag me back to a traditional 9-5 job surrounded by co-workers, politicking and weekly office meetings.
