单项选择题

The next time you overhear a friend or coworker chattering excitedly about SOHO, don’t assume that they are talking about New York. In today’s business world SOHO refers to "Small Office/Home Office", one of today’s biggest explosions in the economy. The home-based business has been born out of necessity. In an era when large corporations always think of downsizing, what are your other choices
Your choices are usually limited: find a lucrative niche in the small business world, stand in line at unemployment, or accept a cut in pay and benefits. We were all raised to give 9 hours’ work for 8 hours’ pay, and we are not backing away from that. Bosses don’t understand that you just put braces on your child’s teeth and now have to pay for them. In this economic climate, where cost-cutting measures are the order of the day, setting up a home office on your own may just be the ticket to beat the odds. So now, to configure your own small office, home office set-up can be a breeze.
Today, researchers and marketers have identified a segment that is now labeled SOHO, small offices, home offices, whether they are high-tech start-ups or women selling Mary Kay... But they drive America’s economic growth and have created most of the new jobs in the last 20 years. 3% of companies accounted for 6 million of the 7.7 million jobs that were added to the economy between1991-1995. Small businesses represent over 90% of all businesses in the U.S. with an economic output greater than Germany or France or the U.K.
Reportedly, home-based workers earn more money. The 46 million home-based workers in the United States, including a large number of women, working at home in an attempt to better balance work and family, earn 28% more than the average office worker, and spend less time making their pay. Of course this could be due, in part, to the fact that more experienced and aggressive workers tend to start their own businesses.
Remember, going into business on your own, or from a home office may mean making do with less. But it can also mean achieving more: more independence, more challenges, more results. In the long run it may well mean more money for you and your family. In a word, doing it on your own means freedom, to grow, experiment and learn. If you are successful, you won’t have to go ask for a raise or accept what you’re given or worry about being turned out to pasture when a younger version of yourself comes along. You will have the freedom to enjoy the profits of your own work, and the continuing growth and profit which comes from owning your own business. Good luck and enjoy the journey.
