Many people often label working for yourself as "better" per se. This is a flaw.
Working for yourself requires a business savvy, capital funding (you will make mistakes, health insurance, staff, etc. These things are not easy. Many people would make more income if they worked for a company, they just don't realize it.
That said, I have always tried to do both. I have made some bad business moves on my own, the out of pocket cost for me (when making a mistake) hurts. Health insurance cost a fortune.
Working for someone is often the best stepping stone to running your own business. Learn from those that have the capital to take losses here and there.
