Drone or Queen Bee???

So here's my question to all of you "out there"...
If you could work for yourself, would you?
Would you take the "security" of knowing that your next pay cheque is coming, and that it'll be for roughly the same amount as the last one, or the opportunity to get paid based on what you bring in for the company? Would you rather work for someone else's schedule and rules, or do it your way, on your time frame?

Idle curiosity.... just wondering what you all think. Would you choose to be a secure drone, or a responsible Queen bee??

feed me your thoughts.
