The main body paragraphs need to address the 'why' and 'disadvantages' of being self-employed more directly. Include specific examples and reasons to underscore the points made.
Coherence and Cohesion
The essay's structure has room for improvement. Paragraphs should be more clearly organized, each with a single main idea followed by a supporting explanation. A concluding sentence for each paragraph would enhance clarity.

There is a lack of a clear conclusion. A conclusive paragraph summarizing the main points discussed and addressing the questions directly should be included for a coherent finish.
