Employment is good and so is investment. Combining the two is the best in my opinion.
To start up a business, some level of capital is needed and might not be available an average citizens. Yes, loan options are available but accessibility becomes an issue. In other to generate the need capital, most will have to get a paid job to meet up their daily need and start up savings for business/investment. How long this will go now depends on the will power of an individual.
With good certificate which place some at advantage over others, there are some paid job that pays well which such an individual even if in business cannot command such. In a situation like this, paid job becomes essential to such a person and such can go into big investments while still on that paid job
