The 9-5 routine is slowly becoming something of the past...
I really enjoyed reading your post. I completely agree on your point when you say having a job is a huge risk. Relying on someone from above to dictate your daily tasks, your income and your timetable is something that still seems completely absurd to me on many angles.
However one thing I have learnt being self-employed is that isolation can sometimes be a tricky things. Also for some jobs it is impossible to do them alone, some problems need a team of people to be resolved.
I have joined a project last year called Astralship.(they are on Steemit, @astralship). We are trying to give self-employed people the opportunity to have a space to work in teams and break out the old paradigm of employers/employees and minimum wage. Check us out, it might interest you :)
