I have never been employed so my commets will be bias,,just have to say that being self employed you do have more choices,, also lots more satisfaction,, on saying that there is a security issue to do with finance,ie a guaranteed income and pensions,,myself I would never change to being employed,,I think there are more self employed now than there has ever been,, anyone contemplating going self employed I would advise them to have a good chartered accountant, discuss it with their bank financial adviser, and be prepared tolive on bread and water and loose all the luxuries until the buisness can afford them, you will have to live on drawings which are not a guaranteed stable income,, dont borrow more than you can pay back and take into account that 5% interest today can easily become 15% tomorrow.,many have fallen by the wayside running on a shoestring,,way up all the risk factors,, dont jump into the fire until its cooled down
