Well no and no. After working for the man for 11 years, I started my own business. Some very good years and some lean years (15 years) later I was enticed to go working for someone whom I knew and respected. That was great. But then the business was sold and I didn't get on with the new owners so I took another job and lasted just 5 weeks. Quit and started up another business, now up and running for 6 years. Looking back, I am much happier being my own boss. If I see an opportunity I can go for it. Money is not the most important factor. Freedom is!
