Running a business is far better than working as civil servant.

Some one doing business earns every day of life,while a civil service person earns monthly if you go into statistics you confirm the money a business man or a woman makes in one month is far bigger and better than the civil servant,most civil servant salaries are not bigger to face the economy crisis,before you receive your salary in a month you must have own some debts,half of the money will be spent to clear your debts before thinking how to run your family affairs with the little remaining,civil servants work can't enrich you,is just helping your upkeep.

most civil servants aren’t working in that industry for the profit let’s be honest a lot of them just had no choice or just really interested in the career they chose regardless of the pay

but business is always the best option for anyone because you are not under anyone’s employment and you have no contract you control your own life and time and you make your own decisions

I agree with you mate. A civil servant is on a rat race, and someone running his own business is building wealth for the future. If you notice, no matter how high inflation is, those people running business wouldn't feel it much especially when it's an essential commodity. They will inflate their price and still make profits. But the Civil servant salary wouldn't be increased and inflation will reduce the value of his income.

is the real facts,most of them don't really have a choice due to our economy,they grab the opportunity.

running a business can be a lot harder than you thought. you may think the money to earn is bigger but you got to be prepared before launching a business because its not for all. those who made success worked they way to make it, they suffer  lot before the success. may probably even failed several times before they learn to do it. not that i'm discouraging but do  feasibility study before launching a business. study the location and your target market and so on.

this is why working for someone sometimes is an easier career. less risk and less stress and wait for the retirement to receive pension when they aged.

I think we can't generalize it. There are also business men/women who get lower salaries, meanwhile there are civil servants who get bigger salaries monthly. For the business men/women, it all depends on how big the business is. Meanwhile for the civil servants, it depends on their positions/levels.

However, if you are civil servants, the government guarantee your salaries monthly. Meanwhile business men/women, there are no guarantee for the amount of the salaries. It can bigger or lower, it depends on how the development of the business is.

I rather work harder to get paid hugely than working as a civil servant, only to be paid with money that will not be enough to sustain me and my family for a month.

I don't think, there is easy way to make money be it a business person or civil servant. You will have to work your hands off to be paid each time.

It's better I work my hands off to feed myself and family comfortable than to be feeding from hands to mouth without any thing to show for it.

Yeah business people can make money daily, and it often adds up to way more than what a civil servant gets in a month. Most civil servant salaries can't keep up with the rising cost of living. By the time payday comes, many have debts waiting to be cleared, and what's left barely covers family needs. Civil service work doesn’t make you rich it just helps you survive.

As long as you are a risk taker then you can do business if not then you have no choice but to work with your boss. The thing here is that we want to be self employed or we are our own boss so we have our full control of time. Here in my place if you work as a civil servant you accept the fact that politics will play a tricky role with a tricky salary as well though in some pther places in the world might experience this but some also have better system and maybe it's all about our own preference in choosing the best type of job and earnings we want.

Maybe OP also needs to talk about the challenges of running your own business so we can compare the categories better. "Better" in what aspect? Saying that job A is better compared to job B just because it gives you more money is quite rash IMO. But let's say that what you said is true, can somebody even look at job A if they don't have the means to do it? You need capital, you need connections, etc. Surely you're not going to tell them to "just do it" because it has "potential". I think it's one of those cases where people only look at 1 criterion and ignore everything else.

There is no reason for comparison as running a business is a better option than working for the government which is more like a modern day slavery because someone working for the government is like tying himself to a tree because you have a fixed amount that you earn so in this present economic situation someone working in the government will be struggling to meet up with the responsibilities associated with the family needs while a business man or woman is someone that is not regulated by salary but has the leverage to do what ever he wants because business brings you daily income rather than expecting one small salary at the end of the month

We should also keep in mind that the term "business" is broad in scope. Even though we all agree that businessmen run the world in terms of finance, there are some businesses that do not generate a lot of profit. It is more of a hand-to-mouth situation, and such people will jump at the chance to become civil servants if the opportunity presents itself.

Owning and running a business is never easy, especially at that stage of buildup. I have seen businesses fail, so business itself carries a lot of risk, and only those in business understand the risks. Today, most civil servants run their own businesses to supplement their salaries. The salary may not be bogus, but the feeling of being on the payroll is always a good one.

It's one million percent better in this recent world economy it is not suitable to work for a person it's just like building other people's success. It's good to be the boss of your own business.

As a business owner, there is no assurance whatsoever that you will make sales every day you are in business. That is the uncertainty that comes with running a business, and this is why for some people, being a civil servant will be a preference because of the financial security that it offers. It may sound somehow earning a salary once every month, but this is the preference of some people because they can actually plan themselves properly with that amount of money they are expecting to get at the end of the month. To summarize the argument, there are many civil servants living better than business owners.
