Open For Business

But in America today... everyone is their own business.
A waitress must manage her clients, build regulars and is responsible for accurately reporting her tips to the IRS.
Often she must buy a comfortable uniform, shoes and makeup to help her make more money than the person working next to her.
She negotiates her wages, hours and responsibilities before she is even hired.
She gives the responsibility of paperwork to her employer in exchange for a place to perform work and a monetary profit for her employer.

A good teacher often works unpaid overtime and often buys supplies for her students.

A construction worker must provide her own tools and is often responsible for finding other work when her current jobs are complete.

Everyone is in business for himself.

Some approach their tasks in the same way as artisans and craftsmen in years past.

Those who failed to think about their jobs in this way and relied on a boss to offer security are the ones worried about the extension of unemployment benefits.
