I have been self employed most of my life, I created companies from scratch and I deeply feel that I am unemployable.
I am engineer, a geek, a hacker, whatever you want to call it when you love working with machines all day, but the most important thing is that I take my own decisions. I won't be happy working on machines for someone else.
When you study in the University they train you to obey the decisions of others. Everyday I am shocked when people obey me without resistance.
The best people I had did not obey me: When I ask something stupid, they just told me fast how stupid it is. They were a pain in the ass to work with, but the resulting work is outstanding.
I think the belief that you need to work for someone else is wrong, society trains you for that as it is the only alternative. It is not. You can work on your own just fine and partner with other people.
Working on your own is not for everyone, but also being employed is not for everyone.
