The person I replied to basically implied that working as an employee is falling prey to some sort of "scam". This is not a widely held view.
I understand what they are getting at, and I'm actually sympathetic to the view point. But the reality is much more nuanced.
Edit: To more explicitly answer your question, I would say that being self-employed is more difficult and demanding than working for someone else. Thus for many people it makes more sense to be an employee.
- return0 10y ago> for many people it makes more sense to be an employee. Not for me though. I wonder if we could make a poll among people who have tried both.
- dwaltrip 10y agoI'm similar -- I'll probably be self employed at some point. I highly value my autonomy. However, I suspect your poll would be biased towards those who prefer self-employment, as those who are certain it is not for them wouldn't bother trying it.
