In recent years, there has been a growing tendency towards self-employment all over the world. In this essay, I will analyze some main reasons for this trend, as well as examine its drawbacks.

One of the reasons why more people are choosing to be self-employed nowadays is that most people believe that entrepreneurs have better income potential. It is common that traditionally employed workers usually receive fixed salaries for their positions while many self-employed individuals can gain higher income upon the development of their business. Another possible reason is the flexibility of deciding when and where to work. People who are self-employed can have the freedom of setting their own working hours and have the freedom to choose their workplace. As they can have control over their time, they will have more opportunities to cultivate other skills which further enhance their professional prospects, such as management skills.

On the other hand, self-employment brings about some negative aspects that should be taken into consideration. First of all, once people have become self-employed, they would receive unsteady pay and lack financial security. In fact, their income might experience fluctuations, depending on the growth of their business and other expenses to operate the business. Moreover, self-employment often requires extra working hours. Since people working for themselves handle many things ranging from marketing and sales to financial management and personnel administration, they have to work longer and more irregular hours than those who are not self-employed. Therefore, they will spend less time with family and friends, or have difficulty in achieving a healthy work-life balance.

In conclusion, being self-employed may have some certain merits in terms of earnings potential and working flexibility. The downsides of this trend involve unsteady income and possibly unhealthy personal life and, therefore, should be considered carefully.

Từ vựng cần lưu ý:

• income potential = earnings potential: thu nhập

• be taken into consideration: được cân nhắc tới

• unsteady pay: mức lượng không ổn định

• other expenses to run their business: những chi phí khác để vận hành doanh nghiệp

• financial management: quản lý tài chính

• personnel administration: quản trị nhân sự

• have difficulty in: gặp khó khăn trong việc gì đó

• work-life balance: sự cân bằng giữa công việc và cuộc sống
