In my own company, I get to decide what work I'm doing, what the production schedule is, what the processes are, my working conditions, and so forth.<p>But mostly it's the "what work I'm doing" part.<p>The advantage to working for someone else is that there are a ton of things you don't have to pay any attention to. So, when I'm between entrepreneurial projects or am just in a "low energy" period, I work for someone else. Eventually, though, the "itch" returns and I'll start a new company.
