I'm not saying that freelancing is bad. For a bunch of reasons, I'm very positive about freelancing and consulting.
You sound like someone who'd rather be consulting than working full-time jobs. Great! You'll probably also make more money and get more professional experience faster than people who take the less-risky full-time job path.
What I object to is the notion of temporarily converting full-time workers into consultants so that companies can mitigate their concerns about how inept their own technical interviews are. Consultants and full-timers are two very different things, and they aren't easily convertible.
