Instead of trying to get someone else to employ you, and have the worry of applying for work, interviews, and all the other things that go with working is there a reason why you don't work for yourself?

There are lots of positives to it and you don't need to rely on anyone else?
If you don't self employ why not?

Because I don't want to. It wouldn't suit me at all.

Umm…security of income, the need to get clients in…you know…

Well there still needs to be a customer, which is the client. Probably not dissimilar to interviews, all that pitching for new business.
