be an employer or an employee

I believe that everyone would like to be his own boss. Even I would like to have my own business so that I will answer to no one. The problem with having you own business is that you have to put up a capital, the risk and management is your sole responsibility. These are the things would make one think twice in venturing into business that is why most people prefer to stay as employee. :)

I don't mind being an employee; sometimes it's nice to let someone else worry about where the paychecks and the work will come from. But eventually I'd like to be working freelance fulltime (and make a decent salary to live on). I suppose that counts as becoming your own boss.
