Self employed vs employed1

Self-employed vs. employed
My friends and I always talk about our jobs. Whether to work for
ourselves, own a business or work for an employer is one of the hot
topics we discuss. Some prefer to work for themselves or own a
business. While others prefer to work for an employer. As far as I
am concerned, I would like to work for myself. My arguments for
this point are listed as follows.
First of all, perhaps one disadvantage to work for others is that we
could not plan our time freely. We have to work from 8 to 5
according to the employer`s schedule. No matter what the weather is
like and no matter whether it is necessary, we have to go to our
office on time. We have no choice but to obey the rules set by the
employer. Suppose we work for ourselves, we could decide our own
timetable. We could find the best time for us to work and improve
the work efficiency.
Another reason for my inclination for working for ourselves is that
we earn what we deserve. Our wages would be very clear to us. We
know what we should earn. That`s fair and we would work harder to
get better result. However, when we work for others, the boss
decides what we earn. It often occurs that we get less than we could
earn.
In addition, working for ourselves, we try our best in our work to
reach our goal, thus it would be faster to be successful in life. If we
work for others, the enthusiasm to work may not be so high. I
heard many enterprisers who work for themselves succeed earlier
than people of the same age.
In a word, in spite of the fact that there may be a couple of
disadvantages to work for ourselves, I feel that the advantages are
more obvious, that is we could plan our time for work more freely,
earn the amount of money that we deserve and get early success in
life. Taking into account of all these factors, I would choose to work

for myself.
