I've been "selling my time" for 27 years, and if I had it to do over, I'd do it again. Probably for different employers, probably with some sort of career strategy, but I'd definitely do it again. Why? because to succeed, an entrepreneur needs to be more than a great software developer (or whatever other product you want to create and sell). An entrepreneur needs a number of business skills, like crafting policies, schmoozing vendors, wooing customers... Those aren't my strong suits. I am perfectly content to let someone else handle all the business stuff, and pay me an agreeable salary to handle the software end of things. That gives me the freedom to shine at design, development, user-education, and self-improvement. If someone who doesn't know me wants to dismiss that as "selling my time," well, that's his problem, not mine.
