Pluses:
- You will be your own boss, in charge of how you work.
- No daily commute which will save you lots of money and wear and tear on the car. No more worries about how the traffic is.
- Your wardrobe isn’t important at home because no one will see you. This could be a big money saver for some people.
- If you have to run an errand you can do it without worrying about getting into trouble.
Now the minuses (You’ll find that some of the minuses are related in a way to the pluses):
- You will be at home all day. The only interaction that you will have is probably on the phone, no face to face. Some people are okay with that and some aren’t. If you don’t mind the quiet and lack of social interaction then it wouldn’t be a problem.
- Can you stay focused on day on your job? You are at home and there isn’t a boss lurching around so it is up to you not to goof off. If you need a lot of direction working at home might not be for you.
- Will your family interfere with your job? Make sure that the rest of the family knows that even though you are at home, you are there to work.
- There aren’t as many opportunities available to people working from home. And the pay isn’t that great.
