Entrepreneur, anyone?
I know a number of people who have started their own companies or who work as freelance and have a lot of success doing it. I used to do quite a bit of freelance work before I graduated from the university - first as musician and then as techie - but the last few years I’ve gone the steady job route. (Not that “steady” jobs have meant I always got paid - I worked almost 3 years for a company that paid me irregularly or not at all for the last 2 1/2 years I worked there.) Steady jobs have their advantages in theory, particularly when you’re the only working partner.
My personality tests in school always showed me as a risk-taker, and at the moment I’m not the only working partner.. so what if I were going to do something else, something as an entrepreneur? What would it be? (more…)
