Hmmmm... I am thinking is the other way around. Why would people want a regular job? Think about it, why do you want to work under someone else? Do you have such a low self esteem that you don't think you can succeed on your own? Most people get regular jobs because they don't believe they are good enough to start a company. Hurray for those of us that believe that working on a regular job is almost the same as being a looser!
- wheels 17y agoThat's a little too echo-chamber-ish for me. I think most people have "normal" jobs because either (a) their life doesn't revolve around their work or (b) it's never occurred to them to found a company. The first takes a couple forms. During the last two "normal jobs" my life was focused on open source work and music, respectively. I didn't want to "monetize" either of them, so the best solution was having a job that was loosely connected to them and allowed for that (working in the LinuxLab of a large corporation, and then a pro-audio company, respectively). For a lot of people it's their families. The second I think is also pretty common. It just hadn't occurred to me to start a company until a couple years before I did. Not to mention, that because of visa requirements, it wasn't possible. Founding a company has been a great experience, but my life revolves around that now. For those who do not find that desirable, working for others seems a fairly sane choice.
