I understand that, but you see the thing is I wouldn't want to open a business and become self employed, it just isn't my thing. I have no interest in running a business and I would also go as far as to say I'm not cut out for it (some of us just don't have the business mind and/or personality). I'm quite happy being a PAYE employee ... and of those who are, there is the potential to be at the top of the pile, that's a big thing
