    Personally this hits home for me. Just the fact of the struggles we have faced being unemployed since 2008. Thank the Lord for Scrapping, Picking and the internet =)

    I definitely can relate to that. The last couple of "jobs" that I had, all ended in "lay offs"....one boss actually had the ba*** to tell me the truth, that the Founder/President of the company made a BAD financial decision, and in turn had to get rid of over a 3rd of his business after that.

    So after this happened 3 times, I told my wife, that I was tired of the "lay offs" and that regardless of the reason, most employers will tell others other stuff to make it look bad on you. Not only that, I didn't feel like dealing with it for a fourth time.

    So, I told my wife that I was going back to something where I was in CHARGE and could decide how much I made, how my employees and customers were treated, and that I could once again control our destiny.

    I will be the first to admit, that it is not always happy times running any business, but I will always prefer working for myself, then a BOSS anytime!
