Be An Entrepreneur: It’s Less Risky
While everyone generally think’s that securing a good paying job with benefits is the ticket in life, Marc Cramer would strongly disagree with this idea. This is no longer the case like it was years and years — there are no guarantees anymore when it comes to your job.

If you’re an employee, when that job with the benefits, 401K and stock options goes belly up, you loose everything. Where are you then?
But, when in business for yourself you no longer have to worry about someone firing you, or laying you off. Your job is secure as long as you want it to be. In addition, entrepreneurs tend to look at more than one revenue stream rather then banking everything on one salary.
They never want to bet all of their money on a single service or product because they know the odds are very good that the revenue projections won’t be met; the product/service will become obsolete; or others will enter the field, which will dilute the price.
How has your job let you down so far in terms of where you thought you would be?

I know that. I’ve been much more secure and prosperous in my (so called) risky web design business than I ever was in the job market.

I believe you want to use the word lose, not loose :)

Honestly, in this economy with major corperations going belly up or geting “took over” there is little more to count on than change. Your job can be gone overnight it seems now, and that hardly fosters any “dedication or loyalty” from employers or employees for that matter.
It’s every man for himself in the job market now, the person you work with now could be your rival for the next job out there if you get the “pinkslip” or early “buyoff” as companies try to navigate the “resession/depression” the U.S. is in the begining of.
So where is any good news?
Well, there are a lot of options out there, but you got to get off your butt and find the one for you. So many people operate out of a “mindset of lack” but they are wrong. There is enough to go around for everyone.
