Being self employed in the right way can be a fantastic liberating experience that can allow you to do things you would have otherwise never attempted.
But the offer above, isn't one of those.
Since thatcher the country has been steered away from primary & secondary industries (fishing/farming/mining/production/finishing/engineering etc) and toward the tertiary sectors, unfortunately it has never been attempted very well (insert pages of political spiel here if you like) so now we lye in a place where the vast majority of our material needs are imported at a rising cost to us, yet we don't have an entire nation of degree holding highly educated individuals to sell our skills & services back out to the world. I.E. we are trailing as a nation and its unlikely to ever change in our favour.
