Everyone wants to own a business.

It really doesn’t matter who you talk to. People want to be their own boss. I have nothing against that, because I also had that desire.

But looking back, there was no widespread desire to be self employed until about ten years ago. But since Covid, this trend has only accelerated.

During my college and university years, I didn’t come across a single person who said they wanted to start their own business after graduation.

Most people were after traineeships at large companies. A few considered getting a PhD. Others wanted to work at smaller firms so they could know everyone. It was all about finding employment and getting good at what you do.

Now, people hate jobs.

Why is that?
