Hi, this week has been an adventure. I have yet to gain traction on this new journey that I find myself on. Everyone tells me that you have to be an entrepreneur in order to survive. Yet they don't tell you how hard it is to compete with millions of others who have followed that dream as well. Nor do they tell you that being entrepreneur sometimes means that you're a serf for whatever company or organization wants to hire you. In other words the new word is "independent contractor"....which essentially means that you
1) Scramble with everyone else to find work that will pay more than a pittance.
2)Beg to find any work so you get money in the bank which you need to pay bills.
3)You pay for your own health insurance and everything else with little or no money...Good Luck!
4)You get to expose your personal information for everyone to see and count it a privilege if they don't destroy your identity in the process.
5)You take the risk of losing everything, even your home on the hopes that the company is legit and they will pay what you're worth.
6) If you complain, then you join the thousands that are struggling to find work..
Yes, I know that sounds bitter...but I haven't as yet found out anything different. I actually read a very scary article about computers and robots taking over many of the jobs that we're doing today. I was reminded of a very scary movie I saw as a child called "Future Shock". I still remember the feeling of helplessness I had then about the future. I know now that God is still in control. I have to tell myself this every day. There is some position out there for me. I just have to reach out for it and grab a hold of it.
