"Earning $1k for yourself is better than getting paid $10K by your employer"; agree or disagree?

[Contrefaire]

This quote/post has been going around social media for the past 36ish hours so I figured it was time to ask the Coli how y'all felt about it.

More money>>>>>>

 

[Reality]

Not everyone values being an entrepreneur like that.

Would getting paid $10,000 by your employer to do what you love be worse than paying yourself $1,000 to do what you love?

These social media entrepreneur people can make it seem like having an entrepreneurial mindset while working for someone else is impossible also.

Sometimes, if you're building a skillset with an employer, you get paid $10,000 a few years to learn how to make $7K for yourself that 1st year out, then $8K, then $9K, so on and so forth.

I know a lot of people who refuse that $10K out of principle, but don't have the skillset or structure in their lives to get it, and will be lucky to pay themselves $500 for the rest of their lives.

Which one makes more sense?

 

[Dwolf]

No

 

[jerzboy]

That’s just dumb

 

[Haliax]

disagree

 

[mr.africa]

as long as i don't have to demean myself or dishonor my family name,
give me the option with more money

 

[Umoja]

Bit of an oxymoron.

If your employer pays you 10k, it is money you've earned.

It boils down to providing a service of some kind. The better option depends on the labour required and room for growth.

 

[the bossman]

Dumb as hell. That 10k = more capital to do your own thing later on if you want

 

[The_Truth]

Why not take the money you earn from your employer and invest it in your business? The best of both worlds.

 

[RadaMillz]

10k x 12 = 120k
1k x 12 = 12k

lol

[Mr.Plan B]

Making money for yourself always feels better.

Key word: Feels
