A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why?

[uneng]

The fact is that we cannot continue to follow other people's paths. It's true that being the boss of yourself and others is a very good thing to do and it's the most comfortable way to make life better. But on the other hand we also can't force what we don't control.
Qualifications in our life are all different and sometimes we cannot follow what other people can do because it could be that our way is not to be there (Being a boss) even though humans are the place to try but still we have to realize that our own qualifications are better.

Nowadays there is a distortion in people's views, as to be an employee was a bad thing, and to be a boss was the ideal. People feel ashamed for being employees of someone else, so it was created an idea that everyone must be bosses as the only way to impose themselves inside the society and those who are employees are already in an inferior status. And that is actually an absurd, because there are spots for everyone inside a production line. Some people are prone to one function, while others are prone to another functions. This way there are spots for everyone and every fields of job.

I beiieve to exist a balance between bosses and employees is what brings harmony to the job market.

"If everyone can do it, everyone will do it". If we all decide to be our own boss who then would remain as the employee? The fact remains that, not everyone is capable of doing so well on their own without a superior person to put them in check. Therefore, people like that will remain as employee regardless of what their qualifications is or what they have on their portfolio. Albeit, they can seek for better pay for what they're actually worth.

True, there are no employees without a boss, and there is no boss without employees... One need each other. One can't replace each other, if they don't share the same traits and skills.

If we consider how businesses were been failed and the constant challenges in maintaining one, all these could have been part of the reasons some think of not risking it by creating an establishement but rather they will prefer working under someone but i can boldly say that they both have advantages and disadvantages but if possible the blend of the two will serve the purpose for an alternative whenever there's a serious challenge with one, in this case, always keep another business or enterprise running underground aside the one you're been publicly identified with.

Exactly! There's a common sentiment that being an employee is a bad thing and being a boss is a good thing. Everybody needs to play their role perfectly to maintain the balance of production.

Yes, it's true that some people are more comfortable being an ordinary employee than running an independent business. because the risk in running your own business is very high if it is carried out by people who do not have much experience and broad insight. or some people are more comfortable with the salary they receive every month from the company. However, some people who prefer not to be under pressure from other people will definitely choose to build an independent business. because people who cannot stand pressure from superiors tend not to last long in this type of work as employees. so building an entrepreneurial business is the solution. But there are also those who choose to do both.

Indeed, having aspirations to become a boss is a good thing, but on the other hand, as I have written before, we also have to look at our potential and our own qualifications, whether we are capable or not. If you are able, then continue, but when we don't have the qualifications, I think that forcing will also be useless.
Indeed, sometimes it seems as if being a boss is a cool thing, but in this world there are all partners and the boss's partner is an employee, we cannot force being a boss because if we think like that then those who work as employees will not exist and this system won't run in the end.

Being an employee is not a bad thing. Employees are the backbone of any successful organization and without capable employees, that organization wouldn’t be as successful as it is. The business executives and management staff couldn’t possibly run a successful business by themselves and that’s why they need capable employees who could actually get things done in the stipulated timeframe. Everyone has a role in which they play and employees plays a big part in the success any organization.

I don't think anyone is viewing being an employee of any organisation to be a bad thing. In fact, there isn't a way any society can function  without people or firms having other individuals work with them. Not to mention with the less and less available jobs out there with a growing population. Just that, being employed sort of places a limit on your growth level financially. You start to run the rat race where your life is built around or within a circle and that's not cool. You don't have the leverage to expand very much except in cases of upgrade within your firm.

Yes, the important is that every kind of function someone executes on their professional life is worthy and dignified, being them employees or employers, so people should be proud of what they do and proud to earn an honest income for an honest living. And if they aren't satisfacted with they do, there is always the chance to improve and try something new, but nothing they have worked before should be remembered or ignored as something shameful or degrading. Every jobs executed are part of the professional journey of an individual. To be fair, even people who are in leadership position nowadays have already worked in the most basic fields of job industry before, and they feel rewarded for every of those stages they have passed.

[My ThuiHa]

If I don't have the pressure of money, I will choose to be an employee. I think employees are more relaxed than bosses. I don't like being stressed out. I have enough money to travel around the world if I can.

[bakasabo]

A lot of people say that business owner is better, because it allows to be a big boss and earn more, yet they continue to work as an employees. I think a lot of people dont realize the responsibility of being a business owner. All they see is "business owner earns more", but they dont know how tough it is to organize work and get first profit. Lots of people think that is easy to sit in a cozy chair and give commands. Try to control at least few employees. The "I can always hire new" is not a solution. That means loosing money. Not everyone is capable of being a business owner.

[Sebas.tian]

I prefer to be a business owner than employee, because anything that is coming out from the business as a profits belong to the owner of the business. You can use all your power, strength and financial to improve your business without having any fear that your employer will sack you or demote you from the organization. Anything you invest in your personal business belong to you and your future children, which nobody can take it from you or share the incomes with you because you own the business. No matter what you do to improve your employer organization, they will still have something negative against you.

Stress from owning a business is preferable to stress from working for someone else's company, where you may be fired. Though I understand your point, choose the stress that you want. There is no easy path on this, whether you are an employee or the boss, but thinking of having a business has a longer-term benefit than being an employee. I prefer to really have a business and be the boss, no matter how stressful it is, since having a business is not just about money and profit; it is also about self-improvement.

[Davian144]

The point is you have high thoughts and feelings for the members you will develop. Everyone can be appointed as a boss but not for leaders who are perfect to help or can find solutions to what they are doing.

If someone is ready to be a boss, that means he is very ready to lead and provide every solution to problems that occur, because if being a boss can only sit in a chair and be silent about problems that occur within the company, then he is no different from an ordinary employee. Or the janitor in the company.

Life is not an easy venture - we wake up every morning to the news
But running a business is such a big task. Those who does right are  are the  real champions

Because living life is not an easy matter for everyone, it's no wonder that everyone who is still alive must try to work and do business as well as possible so that there is income they can get. And for me, true champions are people who have achieved success after struggling through business or through their respective jobs.

The business owner always takes more risks, he invests his money and risks losing it in case of failure. In addition, the business owner will always work more, but he will earn more, and no one will be able to tell him what to do. As we can see, in each case there are disadvantages and advantages, and you need to decide for yourself what you like more.

Even if I would like to open my own business, but I don’t have money for it, then this choice will not be available to me, because I'm not ready to take a loan for this. This will further increase the risks for me and I understand that the constant state of stress will not allow me to think sensibly, this is not what I would like.

This is true, everyone tends to prefer being a boss to being an employee, but you don't need to worry too much because not everyone is a successful boss, and they will quickly return to being an employee after a failure. I have seen many cases like this, many people quit their current jobs to become their own bosses quickly, but within a few months, they went bankrupt and returned to their old jobs. It can be said that it is everyone's dream but many of them will realize that not all dreams come true easily.

[Godday]

I'm sure everyone wants to be the owner of a company or business that they are currently running, because the job of a manager is very interesting. If we manage all the strategies we plan, then everyone will like this position, and many employees will working at this time they definitely have plans to open a personal business so that everyone is more active at work and can manage every mission they want to carry out, but at this time there are still many employees who are still holding out in their positions there may be some problems they cannot solve to set up a company or business, and the most important capital problem.

Yes, you have a good point. There are people who think that putting up a business can quickly change their lives, but the moment they start doing it, they will experience failures.

It's possible that they will go back to where they belong, working back in a daily basis with the company
as they don't have any options, they need to feed their families.

I used to go around looking for work, and finally got a job. but that each salary is not enough for my needs for a month.
I'm always bored every time I get a job that I don't think is comfortable, let alone a lot of pressure from the boss which is stressful.

and last year I opened my own business, namely the Burger business which is open every afternoon until 10 pm.
and from morning to noon I sell drinks which in fact are in a different place from my burger business.
until someone says "be diligent in making money, take a break, don't force it too much"

My wish is to become a businessman even though the business is still small, but in my personal opinion it is more comfortable to have my own business, it is more free, there is no pressure from other people, we are the bosses of our own business. I hope this business goes well and develops more so that it can open up jobs for others.

[Yamifoud]

Well, this is the truth, many people are seeking a job and become an employee for many years until they gain ideas and experience about how the business runs. And I did too before starting a small business and with the help of my experience and market exposure, we also know how it works.

But I would say that being an employee is not a way to become financially stable, even after working for 20 years or more.
However, being a business owner also takes bigger responsibility and needs a strong management system to succeed, it is somewhat hard to imagine but the reward is great.

From the start of the journey, of course they want to get ideas about how to run the business they are going to start, I think at the beginning from an employee who is looking for experience and raising money for his business it is not a problem because on average there are business people who start from an employee who in the end they give themselves to start a business career from small to large, and all of that from the experience they are looking for while being an employee.

But I would say that being an employee is not a way to become financially stable, even after working for 20 years or more.
However, being a business owner also takes bigger responsibility and needs a strong management system to succeed, it is somewhat hard to imagine but the reward is great.

I think it will remain financially stable because an employee will get a fixed salary every month, but the needs are always different whether an employee's salary will be sufficient for themselves or not depending on their lifestyle which is clear so an employee will not increase their income and that is clearly different from a businessman.

In business, responsibility is the main thing, they have to be able to do all kinds of things that are needed in the management of their business, including how to manage it all to be more stable, this is not easy, but many who have done this have been successful, and I think people start from learn small things so that you can do good risk management.
