6 Reasons Why You Should Be An Employee

Despite the recent surge of articles on why you should be an entreprenuer, be your own boss, and all that…which is actually fine by some people, this write up is not to counter such articles but balance our lines of thought and consider some reasons why you just may prefer to be an employee. 1. Not every one is cut out for entreprenuership….Some people just love the 8-5, 30-days-make-a-pay lifestyle. 2. It is not a crime to be an employee. Some people just aspire to be a manager or a director in a blue chip company….I know of someone who rose from the bottom in UAC to the topmost position. 3. Employees get immense benefits e.g health scheme for you and your family, retirement pay, periodic local and foreign trainings/conferences, paid vacations…these are some great stuffs you may not afford yourself. Companies that offer these exists and you will love to work for them. 4. Less concern with the various governemtal agencies who keep knocking on you door for compliance/payment/regulation etc 5. Being an entreprenuer is not a guarantee that you will be rich or have all the time in the world. There are entreprenuers who, day in day out, do LOTS OF LOW PAY CHEQUE JOBS and never have the time or money. 6. Earn lots of money and invest for your old age. Don’t just save up money and jump into the sea of “being your own boss” without guidance. There are many sharks out there, so dont bleed.
