I'm inclined to say, "thus speaks the individual who can't find a decent job". See what I mean with prejudice? I get job offers all the time without ever sending out a single resume. Serious ones. The last offer was three weeks ago which, as usual, I politely declined. But, of course, I can only judge from what you write here. and draw conclusions from those posts. but I'd have to say that as resident manager is probably had a better position then simply a "work when you feel like it" home employed. I was a general manager for a divison with about 100 employees for years. It was fun, I liked business stuff with P&L responsibility more than I initially thought I would. Still, I like self-employment a lot more. One of the reasons is that while I was employed it was all 100% med-tech. Now it's med-tech, aerospace, oil/gas, ag automation, vehicle electronics, power electronics, et cetera. Much more variety, much more fun. ... The company for example paid me to maintain two homes in two different countries, paid to maintain three personally used motor vehicles (but no bicycles). Paid all of my housing and maintenance costs while at the work or office site as well as all entertainment costs. And of course a salary as well as a profit sharing scheme as part of the project being managed:-) My employers were similar. However, I am now my own employer and can always decide to grant myself two homes and three vehicles. We only want one home and two motor vehicles and three bicycles, and got that. Here is one of the major advantages. I am doing a tricky design right now but it doesn't matter which days I work, as long as I get it done by the time the client needs it. I can play hookey on a Thurday or whetever and work Saturday. So I sit here at the computer doing the work, notice that the sun peeks through the clouds, decide "Let's ride!" and ... ride. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
