I'd go for job if it's well paying according to my education, skills and work experience. Otherwise self employment is a better option.
I guess with anyone it depends on the experience. I've had my share of unmotivated and dead end jobs. And recently the whole job security benefit fell through. So yes definitely self employed.
I'm currently self employed. I'm making less and working more than when I had a job, but that is slowly getting better. I prefer working for myself anyway.
Its my dream to be self employed working online, but I see no hope, I've never had any help and im not doing to good, but I would definitely pick self employed over working for someone else lol.
