ESSAY- CAE exam ( Could anyone please correct it? ) Recent research carried out by the Britsh Economic Agency, in support of what I listened from the last radio discussion, shows growth of self-employed persons in the last five years. Of course, being self -employed has several benefits, which the ones I care about most regarding money and time. Concerning the first, is undoubtedly true that having no boss, the amount of money that you earns remains to you, exception made for taxes or other duties such as management fees or payment of an eventual, or more than one co-workers. Secondly, being not forced to sit in an office for eight hours a day, or sometimes more, that allows you to organise your time differently. Furthermore, you do not have to waste time in tedious and ordinary daily routines such as driving with your car back and forth from work or maybe get stuck in the traffic jam. To sum up, I concluded that time is the most important perks of working as a self-employed person, just think about how many of the normal eight working hours as an employee in a company are productive, it follows from that, that a self-employed person can avoid this loss of time. Moreover, it is possible to use it in multiple different ways, for example having some hobbies or spending it with family and friends.
