You can fly through the clouds while following IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) without using the ground or horizon as a reference point and will not be restricted to VFR (Visual Flight Rules). You now have the choice to go anywhere, at any moment, day or night, rain or shine, thanks to your newfound freedom. Obtaining an instrument rating offers the chance for both professional development and an increase in responsibility.
