Every day, I do what millions of people wish they could do... I work from the comfort of my home. I never have to deal with getting stuck in a traffic jam and being late for work, I don't have to worry if my boss is going to lay me off, and I don't have to worry about irritating my boss.

 

 

Now, before you go thinking it's all easy street in Slackerville, you need to realize that working at home has 2 sides of the proverbial coin. You may be working from home doing things like data entry, software coder, or any number of specialized work, to which you will still have a boss (besides your customers, of course). I am a small business owner, technically I'm the sole proprietor of my own company. I only work for my customers, and I do occasionally hire employees to help out. It's a great feeling to know that you are at the top of the period... you are earning for you and not to fill a "suit's" pockets.

 

 

I do work from home, and though it's not what many people consider 'the norm', it is becoming a bigger trend as companies lay off more and more people. If you don't run your own business, it's not too late; you can always start with freelancing in your free-time. If you want to work from home, just realize that you may have to work harder before things get easier. When you run your own business, you can have PLENTY of free-time once you get things figured out, and that's a feeling I wouldn't trade for the world.
