Are people taking paid employment because they failed in business?

[Trush Jodie]

A new staff was added to our team today. And he is someone that has been in business for years. His business failed and he had to take up a job. Do you think that some people in paid employment are failed entrepreneurs?

 

[Kross]

Some people just resort to have a day job since their businesses seem not to be working. That's pragmatism.

Of course not, many new graduates from universities go straight to work, without having to start a business first, everyone has different opportunities and desires.

While some employers may view entrepreneurial experience positively, others may be hesitant, potentially leading individuals to seek traditional employment to avoid stigma associated with failure.

Not all cases is due to this, some of them genuinely just want to work under someone, probably their dream job.

I think the easier path is from paid employment to entrepreneurship. Those that move in opposite direction didn't have entrepreneurial spirit to start with.

Most of them did not fail in running businesses. They were hired because they were qualified. Some still choose to have an office job while running a business.

Not necessarily. That depends on the desire and character of the person. Some people prefer to have a stable job with regular income. In fact, if you work for a big multinational corporation, you may earn good income when you succeed in your career advancement in the organization.

Of course yes. I have seen that in my region, most people that fails to running of their businesses join the employment sectors for that matter.

 

[King Belieal]

I have seen many people that fell back to paid employment after a failed attempt in business. Some went to raise more funds to start business again.
