A good reason to be self employed if you can find a profession in which to practice. You may not get as many clients as you want, but you will not be unemployed.

Exactly. It's as if the only accepted form of "employment" is with a corporation. That's more like servitude. On the other hand, they oughtn't b*tch, as I know some corporate people who get 6 weeks of paid vaca a year. It seemed they were out more than they were in.

I haven't had 6 weeks vacation in my life, paid or otherwise.

Right - and when no customers come, or the customers don’t have anymore money to spend, you will be unable to ever COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT since you were self-employed.

That’s the plight of many and my family.

Exactly. I’m over 50 and severely over self-employed (80 hrs+ per week) but also under paid. No worry about not having a job.

That’s what I’m doing. Scr3w it! If you can’t find a job, make one.

I was self-employed for years before I took a job (and lost it in a general cutback within a year). I figure that the economy is about a screwed up as it can get and will have to start looking up after the mid-term elections. Catch the recovery wave.
