Why are many people willing to go to work instead of starting a business? I just posted an answer yesterday, about the difference between going to work and starting a business, I checked some data from the National Bureau of Statistics, and found that in a year, the number of newly established enterprises and enterprises in an abnormal state, such as closed or bankrupt enterprises, is very large, which means that the industry itself is indeed very risky. For a specific discussion, you can see this link.
Is it really better to do business than to work part-time?
In other words, from the perspective of the probability of success, entrepreneurship only gives many people a dream and vision, but the probability of success is not high. Compared to the jobs that most of us choose to go to, it is possible that the low probability of success in starting a business brings us very high uncertainty, or a relatively large risk. Therefore, this judgment of the expected success rate may lead to many people being reluctant to choose to start a business, which brings up the second question, that is, why do people not like high-risk things? Isn't it often said that high risk and high return? If so, let's take a look at what psychologists think. In psychology, it is believed that people choose to avoid risks. With the same gains and the same risks, one may be inclined to choose a low-risk gain over a high-risk loss. This is because the psychological feelings brought by these two choices are different. Picking up $10 on the side of the road is the same as losing $10 on the side of the road, and the feeling of benefit from picking up $10 may not be strong, but losing $10 can be even worse. Of course, the example I use to pick up money on the side of the road may be different from our traditional values, because everyone is taught that if you pick up money, you have to pay it to the public, so my example can also be changed to, that is, to get some unexpected income, the feeling of satisfaction obtained by 10 yuan is not comparable to the kind of harm caused by the accidental loss of 10 yuan. That's what these examples mean anyway. If anyone is interested in this psychological feeling, you can check out some psychology-related books, and you can also take a look at the content I mentioned in the book, and I also gave some examples. You can refer to the figure below.

In addition to these more typical success rates and the risk aversion behind them, there are some other conventional reasons, for example, entrepreneurship may require people to do something consistently over the long term, and going to work, to some extent, many people can choose a relatively relaxed lifestyle, with less work intensity and psychological pressure. Of course, there may also be some differences in the work habits of different people in the face of challenges, the willingness to withstand pressure, and the sense of accomplishment and pleasure in the treatment of life and career. I won't go into them one by one. The above analysis and thinking are put forward for reference.
