Top 10 Reasons Not to Continue Working for Someone Else

10. You could spend over 90,000 hours of your life working for someone else, so when it comes time to retire, you could get yourself a nice piece of jewelry and still have to have a part-time job at the local grocery store as a bagger or at the local Target or Wal-mart as a greeter.

9. Working about 40 hours a week, you could spend over 2,500 hours a year working for somebody else. In exchange, you could get around 2 weeks of vacation time for FREE!

8. In a nutshell, you are considered a robot who must do practically anything your boss tells you to do (whether it is in your job description or not), and constantly be on your best behavior because you are always worried your boss could fire you at any time, without giving you any reason at all.

7. Five days a week, you get up at a very early time when you don’t feel like it, drive somewhere you don’t want to go and tryr your best to make a living working with some people you really don’t like.

6. At the company you work for, it is required to dress a certain way (it's company policy). Imagine if you are working for yourself, what would you be wearing different instead (pajamas, jeans and a t-shirt)?

5. Your company could think it is cool to let you go all of a sudden for no particular reason, even though you own a house with a white picket fence, and have a family with 3 kids to support. Newsweek Magazine recently said firing people has gotten to be trendy in corporate America.

4. You feel extremely awkward asking for time off to care for your sick child or to go to the doctor's office for your annual check-up; it is too much like asking your parents for permission to stay out late.

3. So, there is good news. You have survived the company downsizing. The bad news is that you now have to go home and tell your family that they have to uproot their lives (school, friends, relatives) because you are being transferred to Mexico.

2. Elephants work for peanuts, so why should you? Get paid what you are really worth, while working for your own business. You would feel much more prouder and happier if you are working for yourself.
1. This is America, land of opportunity, remember?! You don't have to work for somebody else in corporate America. You know, there are many people out there who work half as hard as you do, and are earning great part-time or full-time incomes, taking dream vacations and even creating great financial security. What’s your excuse for not building your own successful business? What have you got to lose except a boss?
