Ten misconceptions about having a job
Posted by Jason Butlerat 12:36 PM

A little while ago, I pointed to an article saying it's much better to be an entrepreneur than to work for an employer.

BusinessPundit rebuts.

Working for a company has advantages. It lets you save money to use to start your venture some day. It gives you access to assets that you wouldn't have otherwise. It is an easy way to meet people in an industry and make contacts that will be invaluable when you are ready to start your business. It allows you to test some of your ideas while someone else bears the financial risk. The best thing though, is that if you work for a company you can usually go home at 5pm. As an entrepreneur, work is your life (which can be both good an bad).
