Work full time
A traditional permanent full-time job usually has benefits (such as health insurance); while temporary full-time jobs usually don't.

Full-time jobs are often considered as careers. They usually pay more than part-time jobs, and always carry more hours per week. In the UK, whilst there is no formal definition, it is generally considered that a person should work 35 hours a week or more to be classified as working full time.

Traditional working week
The "standard" workweek consists of five eight-hour days, totalling up to 35 or 40 hours. While a four-day week generally consists of four ten-hour days, it may also consist of as little as nine hours, or ten hours including a half-hour lunch (full-time being 40, 36, or 38 hours respectively).

Twelve-hour shifts are three days per week, thus 36 hours is always full-time, compensating slightly for the greatly increased fatigue which a person experiences on such long shifts. Shifts can also be very irregular, as in retail stores, but are still full-time if the required number of hours is reached.

Being self employed
Being self-employed usually means that you work full-time hours or more. You have a greater earning potential by being self employed or a business owner, but it tends to come with more responsibility.

There is an alternative
Many people believe that there are two options when earning money - work for yourself or work for someone else. Whilst this is true many people don't realise how simple working for yourself can be - it doesn't have to involve business premises, employees, rent and rates. It can be alot simpler.

A home based business opportunity
By starting a home based business opportunity you have the benefit of working with an established company and well known brand whilst still having the benefits of being your own boss.

Also, you're not alone in your business - with many home based business opportunities there's a community of thousands or representatives that will help along the way.
