There are more than 53 million freelancers in the country. Some are attracted to the job flexibility. Some like being their own boss. And some people wouldn't go freelance for all the money in the world (though according to a report by MBO Partners, the number of freelancers making more than $100,000 a year has increased by 45% in the last 5 years). Tempted? No? Tell us what category you fall into.
