Changing Times

The wave now sweeping across the globe is the wave of start-ups. Everyday there are numerous young people getting into start-ups. People have now started prefering jobs in start-ups than some established average company. The amount of awareness, the support that is now available to people doing start-ups is tremendous and is contibuting lavishly to expand this community.

The reasons for this increased momentum of start-ups is not very hard to guess. The youths today long for freedom, and start-up is one way of life where you can enjoy all the freedom you want. Its you who decides what to do and its you who decides how to do. Apart from it the feeling of establishing something on your own is just beyond imagination. You feel yourself on top of the world and you feel like the world is for you to conquer. Also, going by my personal experience, when you work for yourself, your work brings out the best from you and in the process you just keep improving your average performance level.

Yes, start-ups gives you all the above mentioned pleasures but as usual no damn thing in this world is available for free. While in a start-up you dont have a fixed income source, there is risk involved in everything you do, there is no end to your work and every small thing crops up like a big challenge to overcome. Your life style becomes very unstable. Hence it becomes more difficult for people with a family dependent on them to do a start-up. For the same reason its mostly the youths who are involved in the start-up firms. Looking this from another perspective we can say that when young and single, if possible try having an experience of a start-up. The job market was and will be there for you all the time but risk involved in start-ups may multiply in the later part of your life.
