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

[Didia Sofunichi]

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.

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.

I agree with you civil service can't make civil servants rich, it's just from hand to mouth. Some civil servants though wish to do business but no capital

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.

It is true. There is no guarantee that we always get enough money from our business everyday. However, there should be some sales in every single day. Sure, the income that we can get from the business sometimes difficult to predict. That's why the business man must know to manage the financial very well. But sometimes we may get huge money from our business because of many factors. So the business can have the potential to gain bigger money but it also may get lower amount of money. It is different from civil servants that must get stable number of money in each month. But they have no chance to get higher amount of money. Well, each of them have the advantage and disadvantage.

For an individual to be his or her own boss is better than working for the government. When you run your own business, you will be free to make your own choices and decisions, without seeking for anyone's permission to do so. What you earn depends on how hard working you are. But if you are a civil servant, your salary will be fixed on certain amount and it might be difficult to increase. If you are a business owner, you can try new ideas and learn from mistakes. You are free to innovate and improve.

We cant concluded yet because they both were interwoven, if you're a government workers and earn a reasonable amount of money base on your level, have a well structured plan to budget your cash flow and expenses, then you may not see it a challenge working under the government, but if you're a businessman and the business is running well, you may also choose to prefer running a business than working under the civil servant, except if your business is not moving or making sales and you're not meeting up with your demanding needs, then by this, you may have to considers government work better than the business you're doing.

Depending on what job or business will be more profitable it depends on different factories so there are some limited rules. For example, civil servants in the safety are on profit because you will get monthly salary in the job but you have the loss factor in the business. Health insurance, pensions, bonuses etc are available in the job but there is no such facility in the business.
There is a job promotion and training that helps in career development, but in business you will only get research on product content.
Business is not limited to any profit so you can make a lot of money from the business than the job salary. Moreover, you will be able to work with your own freedom in the business but you will not be given freedom in the job.

Yeah exactly, and here in my place most civil servant are involved in loans and some of them just wanted that opportunity but not that good if you are just on a contractual and even the regular one's also have the same setup and that is how they want life to be. That is why some people here in my area just eant to run as politician so they will get the perks.

This is very much correct. Anyone working as a civil servant cannot compare his/her salary with a business person. Most times, a civil servant who is aware that his/she is just making more money for his/her boss will make use of the money, no matter how small to make plans of starting up personal business.

Staring up a business is very good and lucrative, but without patience and consistency, it might be difficult to see growth. The beginning of everything new is always hard, but with persistency, it becomes smooth, while running of that same road.

It is said, you must serve, before you can become a boss, in this generation, it is still the same thing, in any way you wish to look at it.

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.

You must not run a big business but the one within your capacity, and it should be a business that you already know the in and out of it. There are some businesses that don't need huge capital to set up and more lucrative, having such business is better because you can expand it with time.

Civil servant salary is actually from hand to mouth and they use the rest to settle their debt, because the salary of a civil servant is often barely enough to cover living expenses to survive for the rest of the month. With a monthly income or salary that's quickly depleted, it's challenging for individuals to survive for the rest of the month, with a lot of responsibilities on the shoulder e.g  bills, foodstuffs, school fees, clothing, rent, and home maintenance, this responsibilities consume a significant portion of the salary leaving little room for savings or debt settlement.

If the person has no outstanding debts, they might still struggle to save a portion of their salary. The truth is that, without any additional source of income, it is really difficult for civil servants to save a portion from their salary, talk less of starting a business.

A businessman understands what it means to grow a business. When we talk about business, it always appears to be easier than it actually is. There are numerous factors that influence the growth of a business, so even if you understand the ins and outs of the business, there is no guarantee that you will be able to grow it.

Every business faces the challenge of attracting customers because whatever business you start today, there will be others into that business, and sometimes surpassing them is where the challenge lies, rather than simply knowing the business.

What you said is the truth, many civil servants are living from hands to mouth that they can't make single savings instead feeding themselves and their families is what they can do. Before the end of the month, you will see many them owing to bills because their salaries wasn't enough, they went in for borrowing to sustain themselves before their next monthly salary is being paid.

For a business person, that's not their case. They always have money at hand from the profits they have made from their businesses.

Your actually right most of the salary that civil servants receives is not enough to take care of their family needs that is why most civil servants end up borrowing before the end of the month to pay their bills but for a business owner it's different because owning a business gives them the financial leverage to live that life of their dreams these is the more the more that apart from work there should be other side hustle like owning a business that can bring them extra cash

Business owners based on my observation are probably the one who got an advantage when it comes to opportunities and money. Public servants will only receive fix amount of what they work for and you also have to consider that no work no pay thing but for business owners they have no limits when it comes to profits because they own their time.

[SamReomo]

Well, of course owning ones own business is always better than government jobs whether you work as a civil servant or as a government servant.

A business owner if a boss while a civil servant is just a servant with some governmental privileges. I personally prefer own business as a better option than becoming a civil servant.

This is more of our personal taste and what we want, when it comes to being professional in what we do, some will tells that they can only achieve on this being independent while some will say that they don't mind working under the government, but we just have to compare the two together and know which is best for us to do, we have to compare them both before arriving at any decision on what to do.
