Actually working for someone really isn't that bad.
I had my own company for about 8 years and had quite a lot of fun doing it. The money wasn't great, but the freedom to do what I wanted was nice. Or so I thought at the time. I probably put in 60+ hours a week. I was constantly thinking about it. I rarely took long vacations simply because there really wasn't anyone to answer the phone when I wasn't there.
Then I gave it up, and went to work for client of mine and now had the freedom to actually take a couple weeks off. And to actually work on interesting projects without worrying about my paycheck. I had a wife and a 1 year old daughter and being able to leave the office and forget about work until tomorrow was wonderful. And it wasn't something I was able to do at my company.
After 13 years doing that, I've gone out on my own again. Consulting for my old employer and picking up a couple new gigs. Its not going to make me rich, but that's not important to me.
Anyways, enjoy the different kind of freedom of working for someone else. Maybe you'll find you like it. Maybe you wont. But at least you'll have some more experience under your belt.
