Work-from-home Ideas

[burbuja0512]

One other thought... almost any profession will have something that can be done from home. Not all pay quite as well as in the office, but it's really easy to do searches on LinkedIn jobs or Indeed.com to find something in your field or related that can be done from home.

I know that LinkedIn jobs has the option of choosing only work from home jobs, so this might be the easiest. I once knew someone who did customer service for a nationwide floral company from her home. No, the pay wasn't spectacular, but it was easy and flexible. I would imagine that there are other types of customer service home jobs too.. just an idea.

Also, do keep in mind that working from home and being able to watch children isn't necessarily compatible depending on your child. I have homeschooled kids while working, but it truly only is feasible when they are older kids that require minimal direction. I don't personally think that it would be possible to work full time and do a good job while homeschooling a child younger than middle school, but of course it depends on your kid. But I also think that where there is a will, there's a way. In working from home, due to the lack of commute, time wasted at the water cooler or in redundant meetings, not having to get ready, etc, you end up putting in more actual "work" time than you do in an office. As long as you're disciplined, if there are interruptions during the day, you really can make up for them and then some. I know my company has gotten a LOT more work from me by having me at home. LOL this isn't always easy with late night/early morning international calls, but it balances itself out. I am really ready to go back into a physical office with my new job!
