It's the BOSS part that is bad, get it? Being an employee is tough, but once you get promoted to a certain level, your work gets less and less and less. Being a BOSS is much much much more worst as an employee! Many of my Auntie's and Uncle's are like suddenly opening their own business or becoming some CEO are having wayyyyyyyyyyy less time than they ever had as a normal employee! Think about it!
THAT IS WHY, it is important to find a job which you are passionate in! Scrubbing dishes and work hard sounds like a job you are totally FORCED too. If you work in a job you enjoy, you will never get bored!
At the being of ur business for sure u hv to spend more time on ur own business but when it's on track n stable, u hv much more flexible time.. even on working days u can go on family vacation like my boss..
Let me explain again, i better have a suffer days now rather than at my old age.. n working at age of 60yo as a cleaner o sort (btw at the age of 60, which company wil still hiring u for a stable job? if u r a prof then tat's different) is just a example.. i better hv my retired at tat age n hv long vacation.. o doing something tat i enjoy.. eg. playing wif kids, vacations, bcome volunteer in some charity house, n etcs.. n i mostly wil not depend on my children for giving money n survive.. they hv their own family too n well nowadays life is difficult..

ler, what kind of thinking is that la............
you can retire at the usual 55 retirement age and live comfortably as long as you work along the lines of having proper savings + smart investments, let's not forget by then if you have kids, they'll be working and contributing to your living as well.
i think you should be the one to THINK about it.
#1 being boss (as in the highest ranked in the company) could actually mean more time and flexibility. cos being employee, also subjective. all are subjective. i've known employees that work 8am to 9pm.
#2 promoted work gets less and less? sure....... but bear in mind more paid to you also mean more required from you. your WORK may be less but EXPECTATIONS on you can be more. you spend less time on paper work and whatever routine your subordinates (such as yourself before) are doing BUT you are required to produce plans, move the plans and the people and like i mentioned earlier - HIGHER EXPECTATIONS.
imagine the amount of pressure.
i just explaining on "i better suffer now rather than at my old age/days"..
Yes, saving + smart investment is come from our hard earned money.. if we r not working hard n try to getting increment in ur salary, how u going to hv ur saving n investment.. we hv many stage to go through in our life n different stage hv different expense to b covered.. by now we r single.. we just need to earn a few thousand ringgit just to make sure all our own expenses is covered.. after tat coming in a gf.. u need to pak tor, u need to celebrate special occasion wif her, n plan for marry.. n so on n on.. if we r earning the same amount of money at the age of 20 n at the age of 30.. how going to survive.. we should looking for better n better life.. not downgrading ourselves..
my point is everyone need to upgrade themselves in their career path to make sure a better lifestyle for he/she n family too.. not to say tat i need my husband to earn at least rm10k when reaching 30yo.. at least his income is sufficient to cover his own expenses n partly contribute to the household..
