打工.. you work every weekday, get a hopefully decent salary, but usually stable. But, many of 打工仔 might hate 受氣. 東家唔打打西家... does that work in Vancouver? Usually there's only 1 家...
自己做老板... you (potentially) earn much more, but on the flip side, the risk and stress are much higher. Time for kids and family would reduce. Everything's $$$ in the eyes.
umm.. i don't understand your reply at all... what is your point? Sorry toppy, I really don't understnad your humor, if your reply was actually a joke. peace... ps. not attacking you at all..
Different kind of business like Retail, Food, Service, all depends on 人流....the more people, more chances of selling. In addition, high tax , minimum wage etc...it's not a very favourable place to open business IMO.
Unless you can think of a business very unique that appeal to a market niche that people would spend the $ on it. Yeah it's easy to make a living, but not easy to make $$$$.
retail required you to buy inventory in and hopefully to sell them
food business required you to buy ingredient but however the cook combine the ingredients is up to the cook. In my opinion, food business is easier than retails since every one has to eat.
