Freelance work is not a real job !!!! O_o

I'm working here as a freelance web designer... the funny thing is that most of the people here think that freelancing is not a real job specially for a girl ^_^ loOl.. they say:

If you don't have a daily job, you're not really working !!

If you don't wake up at 7am in the morning to go to work and return at 5 or 6pm, you're not really working !!

If you don't work in an office with other employees and with a head manager, you're not really working !!

If you don't have a salary paid to you monthly, you're not really working !!

WHO SAID SO ??!!!

I think people here got used to a certain way of work (the traditional old way) and anything other than that is unusual !

Routine jobs deosn't suit me.. I get bored from the first week ^_^ loOol

Since I came here I have been asked:
"have you found a job?"
"Did you work?"

And when I answer "Yes, as a freelance web designer"

They say: " Ooooo So you're still not workin"

o_O" WHAT?!!!

Some of them who were really nice found me a job in a company and a learning center (they were reallyyyyyy cool) although I was already workign with 3 or 4 clients.. THANX 4 ur help anyways... ^_^

----------- The concept of work is getting paid for what you do, so freelancing is work ^_~
