Moved to general discussion.

Each comes with advantages and disadvantages

Freelancing:

• You can pick projects (at times, necessity sometimes rules the day)
• You don't have a boss
• You get all the money you make
• You don't have coworkers (could be either good or bad)
• You have to spend time chasing leads and getting clients. You'll spend around half of your hours getting projects.
• There isn't much security.

Getting a "real" job (notwithstanding small companies where everyone does everything):

• Stability. Companies are far less likely to suddenly go out of business or hit dry spells.
• You have coworkers (either good or bad)
• You don't have to deal with a lot of the "annoying client" crap
• You don't have a part in marketing or signing clients
• You spend far more of your time doing actual designing

It all comes down to preference. I don't particularly care for freelancing, I don't like dealing with clients or having to chase leads.
