Why job?

Obviously, a huge advantage of employment is guaranteed income. A fixed amount of money is deposited on a monthly basis into bank accounts means financial security for the employee and their family.

 

Typically, with employment, one will have colleagues and even other people within his/her team. This means that one can bounce ideas off of others, share things like workloads and responsibilities, complement each other’s skillsets, and moreover will have people with whom he/she can socialize.

 

Why entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurs can totally change the way we live and work. If successful, their revolutions can improve society’s standard of living.

They also make a significant contribution to national income.

Passion vs. consistent track record

Whole day vs. 9-6

  • People in the job often have fixed working hours and also find enough time for their families.
