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?

Decades ago, the majority of

people

had been working as employees,

while

in recent years more

people

have tried to be independent and worked for themselves.

This

is might be caused by the

people

conscious about their lives and

work

conditions

in particular

. Though to be self-employed has some disadvantages because it can lead to unstable payments and the absence of any social benefits which

people

usually have working for a

company

or

organization

. Nowadays

people

take care of themselves more than some decades ago,

therefore

they choose to

work

independently.

This

choice gives them more control of their life, as they can plan their

work

hours by themselves not by the employer, they can

work

in different places and they do not need to go to the office every day and should not have extra communication in which they are not interested.

For example

, there are many women with little children who started their self-employed career

due to

its flexibility which is especially important and gives them the possibility to

work

and travel

while

they are raising their kids.

However

, there are some disadvantages of being self-employed, one of them is the lack of any corporation or

organization

benefits. Nowadays almost every

company

has something beneficial for their employees, it can be medical insurance, free coffee, juice, cakes or even lunches, an educational program, a reward, a voucher to a great hotel on the seaside or just in the near forest. Another huge drawback is a changeable cash flow. If you are working for yourself you have to find customers by yourself which sometimes could be quite challenging and hard to effort without any stability,

as a result

, you can have a lot of

work

and money in one month and nothing in the next month.

For instance

, it often happens that after some months of

work

for themselves

people

return to a

company

or

organization

. In conclusion, the cause of

people

’s preference to be self-employed is their desire to manage their life and

work

,

although

it can have negative effects on them as they might have financial instability and lose social benefits from a

company

or

organization

.
