Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation. Why might this be the case? What could be the disadvantages of being self-employed?

In the past, most people worked for major companies and organizations while today self-employment is a growing trend. The ability to

work

from home, balancing

work

and life, and higher income, among other factors are the main motives behind

this

trend.

Although

being self-employed can be problematic sometimes, there are so many advantages that will outweigh the issues. Working for a

company

in many ways is the easiest way to earn money. There are defined responsibilities and a salary that will be paid at the end of every month.

However

, people have realized that by working as an employee, they do most of the

work

while most of the money will be paid to their bosses. They have found out that by starting their own business even a small one, they can make more money. Take graphic designers as an example, they can

work

in a

company

and deliver several projects while getting paid a certain amount every month while

in contrast

, they can find customers for their

work

and charge them for each project.

Also

, working in an organization can be stressful because of their environment. Most companies encourage coworkers to compete with each other in every aspect of their job which can create an unhealthy and stressful workplace. Meanwhile, being self-employed means not having a boss and the ability to manage

work

time as you wish.

On the other hand

, running a business has its difficulties. Most self-employed people don't have insurance and retirement plans.

Besides

, they have to find customers, draft contracts, and deal with finances on their own, whereas in a

company

these tasks are done by different departments. All these new tasks can be problematic at

first but

Accept comma addition

first, but

as time goes by, people adapt to their situation and learn how to manage their

work

. So,

as a result

, they benefit from self-employment as soon as the issues die out. In conclusion, stressful environments and lesser incomes drive people to become self-employed. Working in a

company

and being self-employed have their advantages and disadvantages, but I believe there are more benefits to self-employment than issues.
