In The Sphere: Salaries and Millionaires
Posted on October 3rd, 2008
For this edition of In The Sphere, we take a look at another eclectic collection of posts from the blogosphere. Can you figure out the common theme?
While so many people online applaud the value of self-employment, Soul Shelter is taking a completely different approach to praise salaried employment. Would you rather work for the man and get a steady paycheque or enjoy the freedom of entrepreneurship and struggle with inconsistent income?
Human beings are social animals and they need human interaction. Bob Buskirk feels exactly the same way. While he may be a website owner by trade, he also recognizes that you need to become a part of the community. Join social networks, participate in forums, and attend real life events!
It’s a question that many of us have asked ourselves at some point. Oubipaws explores this possibility in depth by asking, “What if you won 1 million dollars?” Spend it on a hot new car? Invest in real estate? I tackled a similar question on Beyond the Rhetoric too, except I was looking at more than “just” one million dollars.
International travel can really open your eyes to new cultures, languages, and ways of doing things. Ed Lau spent a few months living in the land of the rising sun and, looking back, he describes five things he misses about Japan. It’s not all good though, because he has five things he doesn’t miss about Japan too.
They say that knowledge is power, so Freelance Switch questions whether or not freelancers should share their knowledge. Are you growing the community or are you simply educating the competition? In the end, everyone wins with shared knowledge, right?
