It seems for many unemployed people, being your own bosses may be the way to go. This was probably one of the reasons why Vice President Joe Biden made reference to a Joe plumber when he was campaigning for his vice-presidentship five years ago.
A service job whether it is a handyman, or a pet sitter, might be a road to becoming self-employed. We have about 350 million people in America, and seven billions plus around the world. Many of them can be our relatives, friends, neighbors or total strangers. And all of them would require helps of all sorts sometimes. Therefore, there is no lack of potential customers around. And opening a small business that offers our personalized professional services may be a more satisfactory alternative than looking for a job with a mainstream business organization.
Tonight’s Nightly Business Report on PBS had just told us a story of a successful small business in Miami, Florida. Last year, a young couple, who studied music in college, opened their musical school with borrowed money. To their surprises, the music teaching business was a financial success. It broke even within six months. Today, the school not only provides steady employment for the two young founders. It has also had to hire additional staff. - Ayee
