I thank you Unit... for both a post that I read all the way through, but also one that should be read by anyone considering self employment. the last few posts (mine excepted) have clearly highlighted the pros and cons, the rest is up to the individual. I do like the concept of the enabler.... slinking out the alley with tempations of wild riches... I do agree that just because you get x ammount its not teh same as another getting x (-y) ammount... as at the end of the day they should be roughly the same I have a scale of chargeouts both on what I do, and what the client requires (even who the client is) Like Unit I am flexible and can react to the small job and save the smaller client cash... nobody gets hurt... however, I have to keep the work coming... if I sit in my room all day, and make no effort, then work does not come my way. and if you go through a week without work? we.ll get used to it.. or when you have to turn down jobs because there is only one of you. It is quite possible to create small self employed collectives for medium sized jobs... and why not... come together... dig, get out. If Unit could rely on calling up similar people (theres a thought) and they could do the same, then they could maximise employment.
THe thing is... nobody should 'force' you into it... you go to it willingly. I think Unit is right when he says

Quote:somebody finds that there is a job with the condition that you are self-employed and then feels that they were led into that state of being by the “enabler”You have to ask the question - is this the probloem of the 'enabler' who can say... hey... they know the score (do they really?) or the newly fledged self employed person... ( are you?)
