Can you afford to work for yourself? The upsides and downsides to stepping out of the corporate structure.

Love what you do but hate having to go to work everyday? Or maybe you sense the axe is about to fall as your employer downsizes? Could you be your own boss? Being self-employed requires discipline, focus and confidence. It also requires having unique knowledge, skill or expertise. Statistics Canada says 1.8 million self-employed people worked at home in 2008 (the last year figures were available), up from 1.4 million in 2000, and the trend is expected to continue. It's not something everyone can do. Trades people, for example, are often self employed or have a side business while knowledge-based workers also develop a freelance business or dream of going out on their own. If you're in the right kind of job there are lots of advantages to becoming self employed: There are distinct tax advantages because almost everything required to make a living is tax deductible such as your mobile phone, Internet connection, car and gas. You may make less annually, but you'll ...

6 High-Paying Work from Home Jobs

  Yes, It Works! If you got the skills , why not? By Alida Moore Payscale.com In today’s world of mobile technology and 24/7 connection to our networks, telecommuting has become easier than ever. But, while not every job is well-suited to the mobile worker, there are some careers that make working from home a strong possibility. "The ability to work from home is a privilege, not a right," says Katie Bardaro, lead economist at online salary database PayScale.com . "The best way to prepare yourself for it is to become a star performer in your current role and show the powers that be that you have the ability to succeed in your role with limited supervision." It is common for employees with work-from-home privileges to report higher earnings than their in-office counterparts. This is probably because trusted and valued workers are more likely to be able to negotiate a work-from-home situation. "It's very rare to be able to work from home if you'r...

More Millennials go part time for full-time pay

  By CNBC | CNBC  –  Mon, 1 Oct, 2012 9:56 AM EDT With long-term unemployment near historic highs, it's no surprise many workers have transformed into free agents. But younger workers-particularly so-called millennials-are embracing freelance jobs more aggressively than older peers, according to recent data. In fact, more college graduates are ingeniously crafting a collection of part-time, freelance jobs to create the equivalent of a full-time paycheck. "We call them permalancers," said Judith Watson, associate dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York . Watson said she began spotting permalancers among her students a few years ago. "The trend is simply a reflection of what's going on in many businesses," she said. The national unemployment rate slipped to 8.1 percent in August. Gone are the days when freelance meant an occasional fringe job in between permanent positions. CUNY's Watson said many o...

What's Your Best Chance Of Becoming A Millionaire?

  By Stephen D. Simpson, CFA | Investopedia  –  Tue, 25 Sep, 2012 11:35 AM ED   Inflation may be inexorably eroding the value of a dollar , but achieving millionaire status is still an impressive and motivating goal. More importantly, it's an eminently attainable goal with hard work and careful planning. Here are some of the best ways that a younger person can think of earning a seven-figure net worth over time. Three Key Questions When thinking about how to accumulate a million dollars or more, there are three key issues that people must consider. First, a job must be accessible for it to offer a high likelihood of millionaire status. For instance, playing in a professional sports league dramatically increases the odds of earning enough to become a millionaire, but professional sports employ less than 5,000 athletes (among the big four North American leagues). Likewise, virtually every Fortune 500 CEO gets a million-dollar pay package (or bett...

La culpabilité, une souffrance...

Couché dans mon lit, dejour comme de nuit,je n'arrive pas à dormir le sommeil s'evade de moi et laisse mon esprit en ménage. Qu'as tu donc fait? pourquoi l'as tu fait? Ma raison se préoccupe, mon coeur se lasse de ne pas avoir de repos. le regret m'accable, la souffrance me récupère. Je pense à mon acte et l'incertitude plane, sur le bien ou le mal qu'apporte cet acte à ma vie La souffrance est donc permanente, je pense à comment j'aurais pu faire autrement, je regrette de ne pas y avoir longtemps songé avant d'agir je m'en veux affreusement et me promet de ne plus recommencer. je ne sais pas si c'est pas si c'est bien ou mal, je sais seulemnt qu'il ne faut pas qu'un jour je le refasse pour quelque raison que ce soit. Je me decide, je libere mon esprit et je tourne la page. J'eteinds le feu qui me brûle, j'eteinds ma souffrance.
