Trust baby.    Wait..........I'm not sure that qualifies as a job.

Actually I really like being self-employed, the profession doesn't matter to me so much as I don't have to answer to anyone but myself.

I need that smiley that's rolling around laughing and kicking its feet.

To anyone but your clients you mean... and your family when you have long hours and no vacations..... and the employees that depend on you even when you don't know whether you'll have enough work for them next month...

But yeah, it does have its perks.

Yeah that too.

But seriously I've had it both ways and there is no way I would/could go back to working for someone else, ever.

Fortunately the vast majority of my clients are a joy. Those that aren't.......well I tell them to go elsewhere and have done so on numerous occasions. I've also been fortunate in that I've never had to cut back any of my employees hours or lay them off even when business is slow. I have also never had an employee quit on me or look elsewhere for work.

The vacation part, well sometimes you have to let the work go and just leave, it's taken me a while to figure that out but it always turns out fine. The family taking second fiddle to work at times happens. It happened when I worked for others and it happens now.

Good points.... Working for someone else can be great if you have a good boss, or sheer hell if you don't.

Besides I can play on Kindle Boards while at work without feeling guilty.........well not too guilty.
