Self-employment
One of the advantages of being selfemployed is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner. If the self-employed person succeeds in business, he has the chance to earn a great deal of money. The profit earned is the reward for the owner’s effort, ability and creativity. Thus, a second advantage is that a person’s intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on the earnings. A third advantage of being self-employed is that a person can control his working hours.While not all self-employed people are completely free, most of them have more control over this area than the salaried people.
However, being self-employed is not without problems.First, being one’s own boss places the responsibility directly on that individual’s shoulders. Everyone has some weaknesses in some things. These weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is. Second, though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business, losses can force them out of business and sometimes, place them in debt. A third disadvantage concerns income security. Self- employed people have no guaranteed wage. Their earnings can vary greatly, depending on business conditions. Salaried people, however, can generally count on continued earnings.In addition, salaried people often enjoy fringe benefits that mean greater peace of mind. One of these benefits may be in- surance paid for by the employer that continues the employee’s salary in the event of sickness or accident while many self-employed people do not have such protection.
自我創(chuàng)業(yè)
自我創(chuàng)業(yè)的好處之一是生意盈利歸業(yè)主所有。如果創(chuàng)業(yè)者生意成功，他有可能掙很多錢(qián)。這些掙來(lái)的利潤(rùn)是對(duì)業(yè)主努力、能力和創(chuàng)造力的回報(bào)。 因此，自我創(chuàng)業(yè)的第二個(gè)好處是一個(gè)人的才智和能力直接反映在收入上。 自我創(chuàng)業(yè)的第三個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)是自己做老板能夠控制自己的工作時(shí)間。 雖然不是所有的創(chuàng)業(yè)者都有完全的自由，但是相對(duì)于工薪族來(lái)說(shuō)，他們大多數(shù)人在這方面有更多的支配權(quán)。
但是，自我創(chuàng)業(yè)并不是一帆風(fēng)順的事。首先，做自己的老板把責(zé)任直接放到了個(gè)人的肩上。每個(gè)人在某些事上都會(huì)有某些弱點(diǎn)，而這些弱點(diǎn)會(huì)對(duì)創(chuàng)業(yè)者的成功產(chǎn)生影響。其次，自己做老板時(shí)，雖然一單成功的生意可能會(huì)帶來(lái)很大的盈利，可一旦失敗就可能造成破產(chǎn)，有時(shí)甚至負(fù)債累累。第三個(gè)弊端涉及收入的穩(wěn)定性。創(chuàng)業(yè)者沒(méi)有穩(wěn)定的工資。依據(jù)生意的狀況，他們的收入浮動(dòng)很大。而工薪族通常可以依靠持續(xù)的工資，同時(shí)享受著額外福利，這意味著他們心態(tài)上更加平和。其中一項(xiàng)福利就是由雇主為雇員支付保險(xiǎn)，以保障他們?cè)谏』蛴龅揭馔獾那闆r下還能繼續(xù)領(lǐng)到工資。相比之下，很多創(chuàng)業(yè)者就沒(méi)有這種保障了
