It was only a couple years ago when Boeing was slashing their engineering workforce in Seattle, in a good economy no less, to boost dividends.

- Retric 8y agoThat only sounds bad because of how used we are to a steady paycheck. Working a paid 40 hour week, 48 weeks a year, for 60$ an hour for even 10 years in a row is extremely unusual for a carpenter. Owning your own company can result in more stability at the cost of non billable hours. Working for someone else means being at the whims of the economy and or weather etc. Injuries or heath issues present longer term issues. PS: Granted you need some flexibility as highly specialized work is always less stable over the long term.
