No no no! Don't be
that cynical!
I'm self employed and work as many hours as the need for sleep will allow. I love it, it gives me purpose, and when I shuffle off the perch in 50 years or so I want to know that I've left the vaguest imprint on the world by trying to make things better every day.
I run two businesses, one in videography and one in landscape gardening. I'm half indoors and half outdoors every week and it's fantastic to be able to see a physical end result after I'm finished in both lines of work.
Being forced to give up work would probably finish me off, I don't know how to do anything else!
