Home-based VS Office-based Jobs

I would prefer to have an Office-Based jobs but those only for the related job with my college course because I really wanted to work, be passionate, and specialize in the jobs related to my college degree. Having a job for me means that its only the extension of studying and widening things that we are passionate for. Although we are suffering global economy crisis I still want to be employed on Big company names. But this are dreams for now since I'm still studying and this are my future plans and I know it is really hard to get what I want. =) I also prefer Home-based jobs as a source of additional income and as a part time job which makes me pay our bills in our house and for buying things that I want. =)

I think that there are pros and cons with both working at hime and working outside the home. As you stated, working at home requires you to take care of your own taxes and such, whereas, working for an employer does not. You do not have any paid benefits associated with your at home job, whereas, working for somepne else, you would have those benfits in time. Nope, working at home, you do not get paid leave for sick time, personal time, or vacation, which you would probably get- in time- with an employer. All of these are things that are not so great about working at home.....However, you are your own boss, you can work around your own schedule, you can always increase your income, or even work less if you choose. You can take time off when you need to, without having to worry about your boss replacing you, you save money by not having to commute to and from work, you make more money overall, and if you need to take a break, you can do so when you feel like it. I have worked for an employer, and I have worked for myself. I feel that overall, working for oneself is much better than working for someone else. I would much rather rely on myself for my income than rely on an employer.

To me, I think it is much like a "there's always something we have to give." In jobs like office work, we get to meet other employees/workers, but then again deal with the boss and told when able to leave or sometimes deal with disrespectful/rude employees/workers and wake up when we are told. When we are at home, we can work when we want as long as we work the minimum hours but the catch...the opposite, we don't have no one to talk to and laugh with like they do at a work site or offices. Almost like people to accompany us even when going out to lunch and spent time with them while having our break. I do like the work at home basis or home-based jobs. I think I could deal with home-based jobs because when we go to work we go there to work, not fool around haha. When it is our lunch time/break (which we could also when to call it), we could always invite a friend who might be in the neighborhood or close to the place we want to have lunch to meet up to eat, so that's not much of a problem. When it is the weekend or weekdays evening, that's when we have all the time in the world. Also we get to call it quits for the day without worrying about the boss having us to do something else before ending our shift.

Working from home is a great perk these days. It leads to a more productive worker with less lateness and absenteeism. It is not for everyone, however. you have to be well disciplined and able to motivate yourself to get your work done. I can work from home at times and love it.

I think home based job is more preferred. Because it saves a lot of time in the office and you can earn more money than the salary in your office.

Hi aj, You are one of those whom I had really great ambition to be one: to work online, staying in my home and earning money at the same time. I understand the limitations and the disadvantages but the advantages of not riding to work day in and day out, the hassles of office work and with co-workers, the fixed time, not to mention the overtimes surpass the things you are griping now. I am a day worker and how I long to work at home, just sitting down at my workstation and submitting my work to be paid, all at the comfort of my own space. Working in an office really get on your nerves especially when the environment is not so friendly to start with, competition, rat race, and all that stuff is the daily grind to an otherwise smooth process of earning a living.

I don't have good skill to do home-based job. If I get opportunity or offer in office-based job, I'll be glad. But, If I'm you, it would be great if work on own rules. Yeah I agree with you, based on economic situation right now, money really matters.

I prefer home based online work which helps us to earn money from home without any restrictions and fixed timings.As a home maker i have to take care of my family and their health.So i do prefer home based jobs.
