“Stability” is risky

The piece talks about the risk that come with working for someone else, namely losing one's job. There are so many other risks though. What if the job turns out to be a nightmare? There's so many ways that could happen when working for someone else.

It's highly dependent on what type of person you are, as well as other things, of course. One good sign that you're better off not being someone else's employee, is when you're finding the quality of the vast majority of other work environments or companies to be not up to your standards.

If you see a lot of problems that are hard to un-see, and you think you know better, odds are that it's probably less risky for you to start a business (or do consulting work).
