Would you rather have a job or run a business?

The security of having a job works for me.

Sure, I've always wanted to run my own business, and always thought I'd make it a success - but it would also require significant time and money investment, and ultimately, any business venture comes with some sort of risk attached. And that risk will always outweigh the risk of my (relatively) stable job.

I would rather own a business. Your business could be something you actually enjoy instead of something you have to do. So you'd be a lot happier about having to go out in the world to make money. Plus, you'd make all your own decisions instead of someone else deciding your fate.

I would prefer to be creative within my own business. Having a job is nice with a predetermined, nearly guaranteed source of income, but I'm pretty sure I've got some form of ADHD, and my brain gets bored after a while of doing the same things over and over again. Also, given the current state of the Job Market, I'd rather be in business for myself. There's more control over my income, and I'm not dependent upon somebody else "giving me a chance to prove myself".

Now... if only I had the time to develop something that I find interesting that people actually want/need...
