Self Employment good or bad
I have worked in many fields from fast food to retail. Every one has its own bed of worms.
I was working as a Cable tech for a multi-million dollar company until I was layed off/fired due to the latest economy down sizing. I became self employed and there are bumps in the road. I do have to admit (wife included) that since I have become self employed I can actually do what I want (need) to do when I want (need) to.
I have a girl on the way and a 15mo boy and the difference between the 2 is my girl I can put everyone on hold and start fresh after the birth my boy I had to get permission to be able to be at his birth and only for so many days. Running her around for appointments I have yet to miss one to hear the heart beat as she develops unlike all the missed with my boy.
Would I go back to working for someone only when I can have the flexibility I enjoy now.
USA was strong when people depended on their own sweat and tears and not on a big company to stand behind them and take care of them until retirement. Im 40 now and this is unheard of today in the market place its all about what and who can do the work cheaper and off shore it to them.
We need to bring back the "ROOTS" as the author mentioned and help to rebuild Corporate America is not going to do it.
