For some people, work is solely a way to pay bills; those who work to live, not live to work.
I also think it's reasonable that while some people do like to be their own boss, others may prefer to be soldiers in an army (those on the front lines, doing the base work), as opposed to the ruler. Others want to be generals (management).
Maybe they're not comfortable in the responsibility, or just feel their abilities best align in a different work structures than those you may prefer.
- phil_collins 15y agoWorking for a company and having a good salary could be really nice. You come home, you get to actually relax for the 6 hours of whatever you have every day. That may not seem like a lot, but it's a lot more than you get when you have your own business. Think about it... Being able to fully relax and not think about your work. It's how we were meant to live. If you're a professional with a marketable skill, then you don't even have to worry about if your employer goes out of business, because you'll just find another job. There's a lot of freedom in that. You can live out your entire life this way. How can you blame anybody who chooses to live this way? But I'm one of those people who doesn't think that 6 hours of freedom every day is enough. I'm going to work until I can have the entire weekday to myself, without answering to anybody.
