Young talks about his views on the subject, based on his own entrepreneurial experience. We hear from her:<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/aptalca1.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">I worked as a sole proprietorship for nine years, then I became partners and we had a company. I had a good income at that time. My job allows me to do interesting projects, travel full time and work whenever I want.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Advertised &#8220;Make money from home&#8221; on online platforms to many users. Think of it as if I&#8217;m living the fantasy you see in your scam. Despite all this, &#8220;You will never get rich while working for someone else.&#8221; I hate advice.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This is a small discourse that can be seen in some corners of the internet, showing entrepreneurship as preferable to being an employee on the road to wealth, freedom and happiness. This advice tells you that working for someone else is a sucker and that you need to start your own business to truly live.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><b>Why is this stupid advice?<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/omurbu.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This is terrible career advice. Do not get me wrong. I love doing my own work. But the idea that entrepreneurship is the best path to wealth and freedom is, in my opinion, silly. First, the advice doesn&#8217;t make sense. Many of the richest people I know earned all their money working for other people. CEOs, doctors, engineers, accountants; they all work for others and they are all rich. Also, even if we ignore the fact that the advice is completely wrong; entrepreneurship offers no better way to achieve wealth than working for others.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><b>Supply and demand<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/gfksf0.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">All career choices proceed with the logic of supply and demand, just like purchasing decisions. If a career choice is really attractive i.e. too much money, little effort, low talent etc. If it offers something new, it will attract lots of new participants. These new entrants will increase competition, drive down revenue, and the business will no longer be as attractive.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Imagine for a second that being an entrepreneur takes less effort and offers more money to start with, with fewer hurdles than running a business. What do you think will happen? More people will start starting business! These companies will enter the competition. Some will succeed, some will fail. After all, it could be argued that the average return to each new entrepreneur will shrink until it no longer becomes very lucrative.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/dunyanin-en-iyi-ekonomistleri\/\" title=\"economists\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Economists<\/a> say we should earn this steady level of profit as normal business profit.

Some career choices have a higher variance.<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Some occupations have a very narrow range of possible incomes. For example, being a teacher in a public school. Others have large ranges, long-term prospects for becoming an entrepreneur, according to one teacher.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/42l94v.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This is a problem with evaluating entrepreneurship because it has much more variance than regular occupations. This means that you will find that some people are really rich. However, when you count the cost of their time and investment, many people end up with zero or negative earnings.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">A risky occupation may yield slightly higher than average returns. Because people tend to avoid risk. This means that people prefer a regular and stable income to the path that leads to wealth or poverty by chance.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"2778893467\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><b>2. Some career choices offer other non-monetary benefits as well.<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Some careers are sexy and prestigious. There is job security and a pension. Others guarantee an impressive stare at parties when you tell people what you&#8217;re doing. It gives you a strong image.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/9i0te7.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Money is not the only thing people expect from a career. Therefore, the more sexy, comfortable, prestigious or secure your job is, the more people will want it for a certain income. A tradesman can make more money than someone who is a lecturer at a university. Being a lecturer is more challenging and challenging. However, since having prestige is more important for most people, they prefer to be a lecturer rather than a tradesman.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><b>3. Some career choices require greater skills, connections or credentials.<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The ultimate distinguishing factor is the barriers to entry. Sometimes it is blocked due to talent. You might come across a supermodel for a good job, but most people don&#8217;t go into it for lack of talent and connection.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/hap0bt.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Medicine is a highly lucrative profession, being a desirable job for non-monetary reasons and offering relatively secure wealth. But medical school is also extremely demanding, and most people aren&#8217;t smart enough for those schools. Others can&#8217;t stand years of training to become a doctor.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Once you factor in the variance, non-monetary benefits, and barriers to entry, you can explain why most, if not all, career options pay more than others.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"2778893467\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><b>Why doesn&#8217;t this analysis look so good for entrepreneurship?<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Now let&#8217;s do our analysis above and apply it to entrepreneurship. Definitely a big variance! This means that some people will win big and some people will win nothing. Most people want to be their own boss because having your own business is an attractive job.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Finally, the obstacles you may encounter at the beginning are generally few. In some industries there are really high costs to start a business. However, these industries are not industries that most people who think about the absurd statements I mentioned above would step into.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-35359\/ngpegc.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">However, such analyzes are valid not only for entrepreneurs but also for every profession.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">That doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s impossible to be rich. Effort, acquired skills, connections, credentials and other career backgrounds can push you into areas where you can enter more serious rewards and less competitive niches. But it definitely dispels the idea that you can get rich by avoiding working for someone else.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This does not mean that career choice is not important. Some careers are inherently more difficult and more restrictive than others. Being a janitor will usually pay less than being an accountant. Because how much more can you clean things up so people give you more money?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">In short, choose a career that taps into your talents and capabilities so that your full potential can be unleashed. In addition, your career values for example, status, money, security, etc. Appropriateness is also important. As a result, invest in developing your skills, experiences, connections, and aspects of yourself that others cannot. This is the right path to a successful career, the rest is just luck.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"2778893467\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"line nText\">My Experiences<\/h2>\n<div class=\"line nText\">I love being in charge of my business. I think it&#8217;s challenging, interesting and a great career path. But I certainly don&#8217;t think this is the easiest way to make money. It&#8217;s like I lead an average life, in a semi-stable order. Until I reached this level, I did not work in conditions that were lighter than the working conditions in other fields.
