Despite the fact that entrepreneurship is being praised these day, its good to note also that its not without its difficulties. Nlanders, I will like to read your own side of the story, while practical examples will be appreciated.

Work 4 urself o!.. If u have d resources. Period!

YOUR OWN IS THE BEST . BOUT YOU HAVE TO BE UNDER SOMEBODY BEFOR YOU HAVE YOURS.

Try to be under somebody b4 u start ur in other to get little experience about the biz. God will help all of us.

Very simple answer - Neither option is better! To elaborate, it all depends on individual passion and capacity.

Arguably, capacity can be developed but it does take time and commitment to achieve. It isn't everyone that has the person requirements like patience, discipline, focus, etc to start a business. Without these person requirements, business failure is imminent. Furthermore, those who have such capacity usually need to acquire valuable experience which comes from working for others.

Each option has its pros and cons. In conclusion I would say, look inwards and follow your heart. A person not cut out for owning or managing a business should find ways improve personal revenue by increasing the number of 'outlets' through which their skill can be 'sold' for value and not limit it to one employer alone. Prospective business owners/managers should be willing to persevere our albeit very 'harsh' business terrain.
