Would you rather be an employee or an entrepreneur?

Being an employee will give you the financial security but you'll be a corporate slave for the rest of your life. And being an entrepreneur will give you freedom and unlimited income potential, but there is a possible risk if your business fail. What would you rather be?

I would rather be an entrepreneur and hope one day I will be. I just don't know exactly what I want to do. There is great chance in becoming an entrepreneur. It is a scary to take that first step. As for now, a corporate slave is what I am.

Enterpreneur of course... being an employee is like being a batteries, once you run out of power you will get thrown away.

I would thing that most of us would love to be a entrepreneur but many are not motivated or hard working enough to make it as one. Being an employee you will always be certain to have a paycheck although, like you said, it can be like being someones slave. They both have their merits.

Hi yansky23, For all of us of course we all wanted to have a business of our own, but not all of us have all the resources and capabilities to have one. And for us to establish one, we need a job. It's not hard achieving if you pursue what you dream of, I was once an employee and now I establish my own business, it's really hard if you manage your own, much with financial resources, but what I've consider is to expect loss at the first few months, I just establish it a month ago and I hope it will boom. Thus, I still intend to work after my business is stable, whilst managing my own, maybe I can get some part time job as accountant since it is not conflict with my business and I still miss doing work, maybe because I used to love the field I am into.

Well, lets face reality. If your not that stable financially, you might be having hard time establishing your own business. So to start with, you should begin as an employee and later on become an entrepreneur for more earnings and to be stable.

If I would be given a chance I would like to be an entrepreneur rather than a employee, for entrepreneurs are the boss then they get rich, all the things a person wants to have, can be owned by a entrepreneur. Though employee can also afford some but being entrepreneur has a lot more.

I believe in the saying that states: "If you want to build something strong, you must risk letting it fall!" That is why i like to become an entrepreneur after i graduate. I am willing to take the risk and will never give up until i am happy and successful. How about you?
