"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?"

An increasing number of

people

nowadays choose to work for themselves

instead

of working for other companies because the more and more young generation is looking for more freedom in their

life

.

However

, I believed that the main disadvantages of

this

flexible working style are lack of income stability and the effect on self-growth. Some

people

are keen to have a balanced

life

for physical and mental freedom, escaping working time restrictions.

Also

, with the higher competition in all industries, the higher pressure transfers to the employees. For those reasons,

people

start to work for themselves, especially the young generation with some expertise.

For instance

, those project base jobs are more prevalent in design-related ones, which an individual could easily accomplish within the required time. It is undoubtedly conducive to managing time for a quality

life

.

However

, not all types of jobs are perfectly suitable for being self-employed.

For example

, most businesses require teamwork with various knowledgeable players, self-funding and market contacts.

Therefore

, hardly can

people

who lack working experience be achievable.

As a result

, without more chances to learn more from an organisation or a company, it would not be helpful to grow yourself to get ready for a long term career

life

.

Additionally

, it is obvious that since most self-employed businesses are projects base, which brings uncertainties to cause difficulty in getting the deals in stable situations. Compared to work for other companies, the above disadvantages are more evident in many industries. In conclusion, I believe that being self-employed is a good choice of working style

in particular

industries.

Nevertheless

, working for others is more realistic to the majority.
