Self Employed???

I have been self employed since 2004. I do autobody and love what I do its not work and get up in the morning never feeling like I have to go to work. I got tired of working for thiefs and crooks. I had my own clientel that no matter where I worked they followed me. I do my own paperwork and take care of my taxes myself. I would NEVER work for someone again in my life and im 50yrs old now. Oh, and I work alone...No more waiting to see what kind of mood Joe shmoe is in because hes a moody son of a *****.

You have the right idea, 440. I own my business, and I do have employees. Working for yourself, and if at all possible, working BY yourself, is a win/win situation. There are so many things that small businesses with employees have to deal with than self employed singles don't have to, not the least of which is personal issues.

Rob, if you could get into a business where you're not dependent on others to make your company work, I'd highly recommend it. If on the other hand, your selection of occupation requires you to have employees (other than family) in this day and age, I'd recommend you stay where you are.
