Some people prefer to take a position in a company and work for the company. Other people think it is better to go into business for themselves. Which do you prefer? |
Other than the fact that they are sources of people's income, going into business and working for a company are two very different things. They both have distinctive advantages and disadvantages, and these may play different rolesto each individual's preference. I personally prefer owning business of my own because of two advantages it brings
First advantage is that having own business enables flexibility in your personal schedule. If you wrok for a company, you will be required to follow a set of schedules and rules such as hours in a day you work, breaks you get, or even something like a dress cod. Howver, if you have your own business, you set the rule. You decide what to wear to work, when to start working and when to go home. For example, when my father worked at a medicine-manufacturing company, he had to wear a suit to work, could only take limited days of break, and had to be at work by nine in the morning. On the other hand, when he started a restaurant, he diced when to open the restaurant, he could take days off whenever he wanted to, and he could wear sweats to the restaurant.
Second reason that I prefer having business is that personal business offers more and better chances to make biger money. It will take tens of years to become a millionaire with salaries one get from a company. However, in the world of business, if your method is good enough, you have better chances become a billionaire in a very short period of time. As an example, Harvard MBA grduates' average salary, in their first year, is around a hundred thousands dollars, which is still above the average of income at that age. In contrast, Mr. Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, in his early twenties, is already a millionaire, ready to be next Bill Gates of the industry.
To conclude, thogu it seems like that going in to business is a bit more resky, and working for a company may offer stable incomes, I would prefer having business. My reasons are owinig a business make your schedule more flexible, and it brings you better chance to make more money.
