own business or work for an employer?

What do you prefer, to have a business of your own or to work as an employee to a established company? There are pros and cons for the two choices. Having a business of your own would mean raising your own money to establish your company, while if you are just an employee, the company is already set. You will just show up at work for eight hours a day, five days a week. A businessman will have the time of their own. If you are just an employee, you would only do a specific task while if you have your own business, you will be hand-on on everything. If you are a proprietor, your profits will depend on your sales of products and services, while if you are an employee, you'll get a salary every fifteen days or whatever terms do you have with the company. But if you have your own business, a large sales would be great because it will be all yours, unlike if you are an employee, you'll only get a fixed salary. What do you prefer? Why?
