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

In recent years, freelancers are increasing rapidly compared to working in an office for a

company

or a business. There are many reasons for

people

to make a decision to be self-employed and from my point of view, I think there are three main reasons leading to

this

occurrence and we can

also

some disadvantages to

this

.

Firstly

, freedom at

work

is extremely vital for some

people

since it helps them to be more creative and active at

work

. Apparently, it is unlikely to happen in some companies which have lots of principal and a serious working environment.

Secondly

, it is quite hard for

people

to find an organization exactly suitable for each person.

For instance

, if the

company

and the worker want to have long-term cooperation, they should have the same development purpose, think for each other, and have a suitable working schedule,… and these problems will be decided quickly by a freelancer. The main

last

reason I think is when the self-employed

work

harder they can get more money than the person who works in a

company

.

Although

the trend of self-employed is dramatically rising,

people

who chose to be self-employed would have some unavoidable drawbacks.

To begin

with, the more projects freelancers decide to take on, the longer they have to

work

on them.

In other words

, a self-employed can easily get stressed by the amount of

work

, how to manage finance efficiently each month or even each day and a billion things are waiting to be finalized. In fact, if you have too many irons in the fire, you have to

work

until it's done, even more than 8 hours a day. The nature of freelancing is to

work

without legal constraints, so when the project is completed, they may not receive money from the partner. Freelancers

also

can get extremely low salaries when they

work

less compared to office workers It is an unstable job since working without any management requires careful plans

as well as

excellent expertise in their field. It seems that quite a lot do not have what it takes in terms of the ability to tackle any unexpected situations and take responsibility for any faults coming up.

Therefore

,

this

type of

work

might not suitable for everyone, especially for the ones whose experiences are not large enough to independently earn their living.

Moreover

,

people

who do not

work

for a

company

cannot have social insurance and pension.

Therefore

, there are no allowances, or benefits when getting old. In conclusion, since nothing comes to us with only advantages, what actually matters is our awareness of the plain reality in which each person might be only equivalent to particular ways to

work

for a living. Freelance

work

is more flexible

however

there are some risks that have to be considered.
