Entrepreneur Vs Employee?

Would you rather start your own business and work for yourself? Or would you rather be a subordinate in a big conglomerate of a company? I personally have my position on this, however, would be curious as to see what you think?

i own my own business. I never thought i would. kind of fell in to it. Now that it is successful It gives me a lot of freedom and control. But, that is the exception. the first seven years were really hard. no vacations. lots of stress. you have to be self motivated. you make all the decisions. there were many times i wanted a simply paycheck and to forgot about the job at five. Some people thrive off that. For others it is better to have safety.
