There are lots of good reasons to become self-employed, or even an employer, but there are of course also quite a few reasons you don’t want to go down that route:
- You can’t schedule your pay-check that easily: You might get payed each day though.
- No co-workers telling you what they think of <insert favorite team here>.
- You don’t get to get high on coffee each day – unless you decide to work from you local coffee shop that is.
- You actually feel guilty for slacking off.
- The hours are really unstable – one day you have your normal 9-5 day, the next day 5 – 1.
- No dress code to help you decide what to wear for your work day.
- You’re back to “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”.
- Unless you splurge on a rented office space, you don’t have your commute time to get in and out of “work mode”.
- There’s no way you can go around claiming to be better than you boss – you are the boss.
- You can’t demand that the plumber comes in the afternoon because you’re at work.
