Become your own boss and I can exploit you like an employee but fire you at will and you pay your own taxes

    It’s not the answer by any means, but within this system, I would personally fully recommend self employment to anyone who feels they could do it. Self employed in a B2B trade was the best part of my career, and I’m hoping to soon to get back to it.

    Full autonomy, got a modicum of respect, I got to tell assholes to fuck off, wrote off so many expenses for tax, I learned a lot.

    Obviously YMMV greatly, but in my experience it gets a lot of unwarranted flak as an option. And admittedly not quite what people tend to mean when they say ‘Entrepeneur’.

      it really depends where one is in life. For me i find it’s a prison, I owe shitload of taxes, i have no right to unemployment if something goes south. Here we fought to have good employing conditions and the reason they want everybody to become self employed is to go around it
