Is it worth starting your own business or is it better to work as an employee?

Don't fall into the trap of thinking your own business is always more profitable - honestly, it completely depends on the type of business and your financial situation. After almost twenty years dealing with numbers (and trust me, I see everything in people's accounts!), I'll tell you that employment offers stability, but owning your own business gives you total control and growth potential that a salary will never give you. What I'd say is: test your idea while you still have your job, save three to six months of expenses, and only then move forward - a lot of people fail because they quit without a safety net!
