Not the OP, but personally I'd be worried about the inconsistency of income. Maybe in the span of 4 months you make $100k off various bounties, but then in the next 4 months you only make $10k.
Then there's also the extra taxed you have to pay when you're self-employed, and the cost of health insurance (assuming US here, OP didn't say where they're from). Some people just like the security of full-time, salaried employment, with benefits.
