Default Are you self employed or employed?

Just out of curiosity, are you self employed or do you work for someone else?

Those who are self employed, what do you do?

Its 50 / 50 with me.

I spend 2 days a week employed by a company, and the other 5 trying to make it as a freelance photographer. If the photo thing ever pays, then I will be my own company, untill then I'm a wage slave.

Self employed, it would take a very large "sum of wage" to have me even considering an employed job again.

its a bit like moving out your parents house for the first time, yes at first its a struggle, you think its a bad choice, but once you get the hang of it, its AWESOME and you never want to go back

Employeed but just set up my own company on the back of an idea.

Work 12 hour days usually for a large company - why - so I can climb the 'ladder' and make the shareholders richer... don't want to do it for any longer than necessary.

Saying that 80% of new businesses fail pretty quickly - so I would think carefully before losing that steady income.
