tensazangetsu20: Did you go into entrepreneurship due to passion or you went into it because you have no choice? There is a difference... No b by force. If you don't love challenges, you don't get high to seemingly adrenaline excitement for conquering obstacles after obstacles, take up a job. If don't like the idea of solving unattended problems of the society, take a job. No b by force. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

You don't need to talk down on one doing 9 to 5. Every one has his/her area. Thing is the issue of responsibility and maturity in taking risks. The "security" of working in an establishment usually creates room for people to manifest irresponsibility. You are not the owner of the organization. Someone else does and he owes you your paycheck every agreed time. And unlike very few cases of individuals that do excellently in 9 to 5 jobs, taking responsibility and ensuring that the organization is successful (like its their own), majority are more comfortable with earning salaries with their stated responsibilities. They will NEVER give an extra push (dem no pay me for that one. No be my papa work) for the success of their given organizations. As an employer of labor, interestingly, many prospective employees will say the "we are people that love to push our limits and ensure the best for the company" when interviewed. All na for ensuring their paycheck. Lol. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I honestly get the argument perhaps I hadn't met one of the arrogant pricks you mention. I MYSELF INTEND TO BE A FULL TIME SELF EMPLOYED GRAD STUDENT AS SOON AS I AM OUT THERE BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED THE 9-5 IF I AM TO BEGIN WITH FOR STABILITY. THE REAL IDEA IS TO NOT ONLY BE STABLE BUT CREATE AN AVENUE TO BE WEALTHY AT BEST DOING WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING. 1 Like |

I dont think the 9-5 are being talked down on. not in all cases at least. Except a person chooses to view it that way. it's more of a wake up call. If you go from having no time for yourself and no control over your income regardless of the amount of effort you put in; to the exact opposite, when you see others, it's like watching ppl walk into walls blindfolded. So you tell them to remove the cloth from their eye. Some ppl take it as insult. Some just enjoy the darkness. To each his own. The eye opening however, is never easy. 1 Like |
