Self-employment is the state of working for oneself as an independent contractor, business owner, or another entrepreneur rather than for an employer.
Those who are in their search for employment are self-employed as well. No one pays them for looking for a job; they are their own employers.
Volunteers work willingly without being forced and being paid. For instance, many CNM volunteers work without any pay because they want to help other people in career transitions. In the United States, volunteers usually work for either non-profit organizations or, if they are self-employed, for own businesses.

Student Workers is the successor lectio.
