Small Business, Large World

According to an article on Smallbusiness.chron.com, small business make up 99 percent of the business in America (sounds like a very biased source so maybe the figure is skewed, by a half percent. Ok, so no skewing here, just harsh reality.)

Now, my current, and college degree earned, employment is with a large corporation of over 50k. 

So, all my 100k plus earned me is a low level lackey spot with a large company's 50k plus. 

Not something im overly proud of but with unemployment rates high, and underemployment rates much higher than even those, a man with a job is something to appreciate.

But appreciation is really not what were looking for.

Its an answer.

Its education. And not the education that put myself in this 100k plus predicament, and the rest of the college educated crowd in a 30k plus position.  Education to actually achieve something of value, something that can actually be appreciated on a personal level. Not simply money, but that is nice at times.  But an education that moves ourselves and our society further.

A doctor at my 2nd job, giving myself a grand total of 7 work days a week, but that's another discussion (one I have very often with the people around me).  But this doctor, a research only PhD told me that doctors have a more pointed mind than the average person, that they are essentially more motivated to find this end means.

Well, I cant say I agree, and I certainly cant say I disagree.

But us averages still need an answer.

So, is a small business the answer.  For some yes, I assume, and many others, no, I also assume.

In searching for 'The lifespan of a sm' for small business, there are two things more important, or at least to technology and society, so since we've agreed we're trying to move society forward, these two things must be mentioned.

Smokers and Small dogs.

So, its good to know we care about us and our pets.

But what about the lives we chose, and must chose, to lead.

I, as previously noted, am following the crowd.  The crowd to college and the crowd to large business.

But as small business makes up 99 percent of the companies in this country, is large business really the crowd, and what crowd should be followed.

There is steady income, benefits, and overall stability with large business.

According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, according the Business Appraisal blog, more than half of all small businesses dont make it to 4 years.

So if I'm assumed to have to work a 35 year career, which is expanding exponentially due to lack of company and government backing (that's being sent to the uber rich to be more rich, and the low income to facilitate a life of low income, high rewards), one will need 9 small business ideas to stay above water, or at least make a hopeful wage.

I can't think of one idea, so I'll make a 35 year career doing what I hate.

Not much can be learned here but there's truth in numbers, but also questions.
