I would agree to this. I think there is an idea that you become your own boss. In some ways thats true but mostly so you can say that to yourself or someone else. Your destiny is still controlled by clients. If you think about most things -- very few people are their own boss, there are always stakeholders who control your time spent.
It's also a lot harder to disconnect for a period of time to go on a vacation. You kind of always have to be on. I'm sure there are some people who can do that and hack that split but when you have to constantly make sure theres a pipeline of work you have to manage client inbound.
