W: I read that your company is downsizing again. What will that mean for your job?
M: It means I’m out of a job.
W: That’s bad news. This has happened to you before, hasn’t it?
M: Yes. This will be the third time in five years and I’m ready to stop.
W: What do you mean? You’re going to quit working?
M: No, I’ll still be working, but not for a company. I’m going to be my own boss.
W: Doesn’t that make you a little nervous? You won’t have all the benefits that go with working for a company—no retirement, no health insurance.
M: That is the bad part of it, but I am really tired of being dependent on the whims of big business. It seems that it hasn’t been all that secure for me.
W: What will you do?
M: I’ve had a couple of friends who have gone out on their own. They say it is the best thing that ever happened to them.
W: I know it is the secret dream of a lot of people to be their own boss, especially the younger generation.
M: One of my friends just takes temporary jobs. Companies are looking for people with his skills, but only on a temporary basis. So he goes from one company to another, depending on where they need him. He’s able to set his own working hours and he makes a lot more than he was when he was working full time. He really likes the freedom he enjoys.
W: What does he do when he doesn’t have any jobs coming in?
M: He goes to a temporary employment agency. It seems he always finds work and at double what he used to make.
W: I hope you find just the right thing for your skills. It would be nice to have a job that gave you more freedom.
M: That’s why I’m making the change. I want to be able to spend the extra time with my family and it will be great to be working out of my home instead of going to the office every day.
W: Good luck! With your attitude and ability, I’m sure you’ll do well.
