The corporative career path versus to get your own business Sometimes, specially when you are not motivated in your corporative career, people use to consider building their own business as an alternative way to be happier than they are inside the office. I've been thinking about it this days and I'd like to share with you. To be your own boss has a lot of advantages I think. But, being a employee, good things can also happen to you, specially when you work in countries with strong and favorable employees laws to support you. So, I think no matter what is your choise, you need to find deep inside you what really makes you happy. Being a owner or a employee shouldn't be a escape one from another, you need to realize which one makes your eye shine higher. And, of course, there's always a third way: you can stay in your mom's house for lifetime and just forget about all this working life stuff.
