Why do we choose to work for ourselves?

Hi Boyd,

I agree with you....

When you work for a company, in general they make a profit because they're paying you less than you're making for them with your skills and labor....

But on the other hand, what you get in return for being an employee is added security about the size of your next paycheck....

I agree with Gordon that employment is great for some people, but it's not for everybody.... :)

I've always admired entrepreneurs since childhood. Kind of the same way I've admired scientists (and then became one).... Back them, I saw both entrepreneurs and scientists as "pioneers" (and I still do)....

Now, I see it goes deeper than that. Entrepreneurs also help create employment and security for everyone else, by taking on the risks themselves....

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it! :)
