Self employment can be better than a job

Many of the unemployed have skills and are capable of finding work, but are hampered by other difficulties such as having to provide child care, physical impediments (lack of reliable transportation, necessary medical or physical therapy treatments, etc) and other difficulties. Traditional employers are unsympathetic and don't offer much flexibility.

Self employment can offer a way around these problems. If you are really stuck at home, obviously a home based business is necessary, but if you just have difficulty meeting a regular schedule, self employment can give you the ability to schedule your own working time.

When you are your own boss, you can schedule your work time around medical appointments, child care and other less flexible commitments. If you are only available a few hours a week, that's at least better than not being able to work at all, and it's far better than having to deal with an employer who doesn't want to work around your schedule.
