Free Agent Nation was very engaging and motivational. It makes becoming a Free Agent looks and sounds like the best thing since sliced bread. I have positive feeling this is the right way forward for me. Reading The Rise of the Creative Class is a sanity check. It shows statistics that is not as optimistic as painted by Daniel Pink in Free Agent Nation. It also talk about the reality of being a Free Agent. Once a Free Agent gets a project, there will be deadline and pressure. Hence no different with working in a big company.
Daniel Pink is in an idealistic world. He is talented and writes well. He is also a practising Free Agent. Whereas creative professional demand other dimensions in work e.g. stimulating atmosphere, teamwork, camaraderie, flexible work hours or caring environment, stability is still sort after.
