We all want freedom from our jobs; most of the time they make us miserable. But most of us grew up on an outdated path for our lives which goes something like this: grow up, graduate high school, go to college, get a job, have a family, put your kids through school, and retire. It is not necessarily a bad path, but is it the right path for you? You probably never thought about and most likely no one told you the alternatives.
Jobs are, well... jobs. There really is no other word for them and they are extremely limiting. When you take a job, you will only get paid for the amount of time that you work. X amount of work = y amount of dollars. If you think that is a fair trade, take a job, but if not keep reading. A job gives you experience but only experience doing a few small tasks. If you find another way for creating income, you can experience a whole lot of things.
A job only serves to make other people wealthy. What about your share? Well, your employer figures your cubical space in your share, the insurance he pays for you to be there, the benefits she generously gives, and then the government wants their share from your share. So how much are you actually earning and what do you actually see? If you were free from your job, your efforts would go to lining your own pockets.
Job security is one that we hear over and over again. If the events of the past few years where the housing market tanked and major corporations are going under leaving 1000s jobless don't convince you that job security is a thing of the past, then really there is no convincing you. When you work for yourself, no one can say "you're fired" and no one can take away your income. Being your own boss does not limit you to only one income stream either, you can create as many as you want to. This is the ultimate freedom from your job.
