Hive price is little bit higher but Steemit platform gives more potential to earn because of its easy interface and easy contest. Yes you are right job means work under boss and obey their instructions but sometimes when you are doing good job with huge package of salary, then Job is also good because you can maintain your budget and investment where business does not have fix earning. If any falls comes so it is hard to manage daily expenses. But I agree overall with your points. Good wishes to you for your contest.
