Not exactly. Your post did bring this question back into my thoughts though, but I've always wondered this when seeing such postings.
To all: I suppose if it works for you, and you gain as you say "valuable experience" then, as long as you later put that experience to good use for yourself, I don't see the harm in working for others.
However, when thinking in the "long term", I don't see where working for someone else is ever going to get anyone "free", as in wealthy enough to do what you want to do whenever you want to do it. I worked for others for over 18 years and never got anything other than an existance, a huge debt and a bad back. It was after I began my own online business that I was able to realize some of my life-long dreams, such as working from home on my own time, taking a day or a week (or a month) off when I want, not when some bosstard tells me it's okay, and being able to pay off my debts and also pay cash for some larger ticket items that I've always wanted. Btw, when I started this biz I knew bugger all about websites or html or anything. Nothing. Nada. Zip. So these guys with a lot of certified qualifications looking for work sort of baffle me.
I just figure that with either working for someone else or working for myself, I'm going to have to put in a lot of hard work either way. The question is,... is that work really for my benefit or someone else's?
