Default What Would You Prefer?

Being paid 15 pounds an hour for some crap office job or earning minimum wage working for yourself?

I'd prefer working for myself without a doubt because:

1. I just can't work for people, I feel like I'm working my ass off just to make them richer plus I don't take orders very well.

2. You won't get bored working for yourself as you'll always be looking at ways to improve and develop your business (or keep it going).

3.The buzz of pleasing customers from your OWN company. (sounds sad but I just like making other people happy )

Shouldn't this be the other way around?

I've never paid myself minimum wage, far from it.

I'm not sure why it is even a poll?

It's like saying would you rather work for minimum wage or work for yourself without making a profit. Pointless.

Work for myself 100% like I've done for the past 17 odd years but minimum wage no chance do you realise the hard work involved in being self-employed obviously not if you did you would of never started this thread,

If after building my business i wasn't earning 50/100 pounds per hour it would of not been worth it.

Choose not to vote as I value my time a lot more than that even if I was working for someone else (shudders!!!)
