I worked for myself for 3 years. I made very good money, but my quality of life sucked. The office was always "on". Every vacation was spent pushing work forward, there was nobody to cover.
After 3 yrs my wife told me to find a new job or a new family. I was a horrible and grumpy #######.
Now 5 years down the road I have a great life/work balance. Work does suck at times, but it sucked when I worked for myself.
