The fact that most of us can work anywhere with internet access is truly liberating, but by the same token it can be difficult switching off in a 24/7 business - so it important to have hobbies/interests that are non-work related.

This sums it up perfectly.
Eight years for me working in corporate code of conduct, hyper sensative racial, sexual, and religious tolerance to the point you had to watch every thing you did and said or someone would run to management.
The drama.
People you did not like.
Managers (when I was union), double standards, Hypocrisy on tap.
Not to mention chained to desk, or micro management.
Yeah. Taken as a whole. I'll pass.
I prefer to eat when I want.. not when scheduled.
If I am sick I can stay home, go to the dr's, and not worry about how many days I have left.
I can take as few, many, or as long as I want vacations at the time of year I want. Not when seniority, or busy times dictated.
I could go on and on. Plus I make more now then I did putting up with all that horseshit. Being self emplyed is VERY liberating, and there is no amount of money you could pay me to go back to corporate America.
