Just Because You're Freelance Doesn't Mean You're Free
It's almost Independence Day, and here at AOL Jobs we're thinking about what freedom means in the workplace (also, how fireworks are super cool and blow up real pretty).

But what about when you're only minimally subject to the whims and protocols of your employer? What about when you're your own boss, and you have the whole working world spread out before you, like some unconquered, snack-strewn region of Westeros? What about when you're a freelancer?
