Working...What's Safer These Days?

As I sit and wonder what my next job will be...I think about how should I play it safe...should I work for a company or for myself?

A lot of people are in the 'entrepreneur world' and are doing a great job at it! Maintaining business and revenue but some are not.

Then I look at my corporate folks. Some are doing a great job at their job and actually like what they do while others hate what they do and only do it for survival reasons.

So, my question comes up again, what's safer these days?
Should we all just stop and work for ourselves or should we stay at our big fortune 500 jobs?

Think about it. If you work for corporate America right now, why?
Is it because of the benefits? The fact that your position gives you status in our oh so great society? Or do you like the perks, those Bulls tickets every now and then.

I mean really, why do we go to work everyday in corporate America when we could work our own hours and operate our own businesses? Is it because we need money to start it? Yeah, so we do need to work in corporate America to get the money, that's understandable, but then if we have it, do we just quit our jobs?

I don't know. I'm just thinking. I'm confused as to what is next in my life. What will I be doing in 5 years. Everyone seems to ask you that when you are interviewing for a position. Next time, when I'm asked that question, I will respond with, "I am going to be blessed and thankful for another 5 years".

That should really make a reaction.

No, but seriously, what's better to work on your own or to work for a company? I'm still trying to weigh the pros and the cons.

Either way you are at risk. You are at risk everyday if you have your own business because you may not get any more business and you are at risk everyday at your job because they could just set up a random lay off (like mine) or they may just shut down the company. 

Who knows.

Anyways, believing that everything will be okay is the first thing. I do believe that God knows what he's doing and I trust him with everything but I be like dang, can I get a hint? PLEASE!

Naw, but thinking about the whole working for yourself or working for a company can be interesting. Either way you could lose or you could win, it just matters if you have passion in what you want to do.

We need jobs. We need to survive and make it. Its just how we are going to do it that will make us better people. We cant settle for less, we have to pride ourselves with knowing that we deserve nothing but the best.

In conclusion, I guess we should really find out what we want do everyday that will make us feel like we are worth it until we retire. Whenever that will be.
