Thanks for my co-self-employed they made me realized how it feels to be a one tough self-employed and all its benefits.
In my self-observation to others who choose to be self-employed; they tend to ne the one who is in charged of everything and doesn't want to boss or supervised around. For once I have asked my one closed friend about her point of views regarding being check by the boss every now and then. She told me she's a kind of employee that hates being the eye of the management and wants to have a life in a workstation without any worries if she still has the job the following day or any power tripping that she may encounter. For once I've heard another one explaining to me that if there's no time card to be punched everyday; then you'll never get worried being late.
What else can you add aside from this. There's a lot actually and I want to know more about being self-employed, I wish I could be like you but I don't think I'm not ready to burn my ship yet for this.

I eventually want to be self employed and that is why I am working on my degree. However, overall I think I would hate being self employed for a while. Sure you do have a boss that checks over you at work, but a few of the people i know that are self employed forget other things like paying their taxes and such. I think I will wait a long while before trying to be completely self employed since while I hate people looking over my shoulder so much, I know if I mess up I am fired. However, I also know that most of my taxes and such are paid for.
My observation with seeing people even like my own mother who tried to be self employed either part time (for extra cash) or full time get in trouble during tax time. I am not ready to risk my family's security for something as small as a wrongly placed decimal point that could upset our lives.

I want to be self employed but it will take a whole to do so, and so for now I'll answer to other people. Eventually I want to be self sufficient and be able to make my own hours doing several different things, such as things online and offline.
I'll have to take classes though, and in a way I'd much rather have part time work as well just to be safe.

I have been self-employed for four years now and the part that really is of great significance is the work schedule, the time allotted for my family. I can work at anytime of the day, usually after noon is my daily routine, so i have time to send kids to school, cook, do the garden, etc.

I was thinking about being self employed too, because it means more freedom and not depending on others, I wouldn't have to worry about losing my job woithout being prepared. What held me back from becoming one is that the taxes ang health insurance a self-employed has to pay are very high, at least in my country, and I would have to earn a lot to be able to keep a little for myself, just to make a living.

Yes, those who are self-employed are those who are in-charge of their own time. There are the boss and they always get what they want. This is a huge advantage of a self-employed person. He manages the business and gets all the profit in the business. He is more in control than a person who is an employee.
