I was again reminded by my mother just now. She said you can't do flexible job forever, someday you have to do a full time job, she said "I looked down on you, you can't do anything to be successful". I was hurt but my conscience tell me I should do the job I like not responsibility. Just to let you all know I can work under someone provided with flexibility. I am not a loser or in future becoming a beggar.

Dear Myblogger,People prefer doing flexible jobs today,lot of people prefer to even work from home and balance their professional and personal life. At the end of the day earning sufficient money in a respectable way matters. There is nothing wrong with flexible jobs as you can manage your other priorities accordingly. Fixed jobs on the other hand are too stringent and monotonous & after sometime you will hardly find any time for yourself & your family.

A flexible job may not seem to be so stable for you. But what you like is the most important. Your mon did not really look down on you, she just felt angry that you did not take her advice. You need to prove to your mon that your choice is right. Flexibility is ok but you should find the job you have interest and be fully devoted, thus you will become successful. Besides, you need to live on yourself, so salary is also a consideration for you and donot rely on your mon for your money problem. One day you reach the talent level in your field, which will make your mon fully recognize you. May you successful in the future.

You should try to discover a good friendly permanent job within your age of application aside from flexible jobs. Flexible job becomes very tasty if you have one permanent job aside from it. Flexibles are just amuzement to me. One guy from my country earns a lot from odesk.com. Its his skill that reach him to that position. Just have glance to that guys website WWW.BLOGKORI.COM. I like flexibles too. Stay fine.

I dont know what flexible job is. Is it a stable job. but I like flexible because I can manage and work at my phase. You are not a loser, no one is. Your mother is just concerned on your future, maybe like me, couldn't understand the meaning of flexible job. But if you are earning from it. Goo girl no one stops you if you are happy with it.

I think full time, permanent jobs are in decline. So your mother may need to realise that your choice may not be a choice in the jobs market soon.

sometimes, as parents get older, they can get more critical. you have said that your mother had a few health problems, that may be making her more negative in what she says, than is helpful to you. in a discussion the other day it sounded like you were heading in the right direction, for you, as far as work goes. i think its just age, that your mother wants you to conform and do the sort of job she wanted for you when you were younger, whereas you have actually managed to change direction, and are getting closer to fulfilling your own goals. you can start advising the rest of us soon!

Your mother just want to live her dream for you. Parents have wonderful dreams for their kids that is why she said that. She said that not because she wants you to be hurt but because she wants you to think and realize that time is running and both of you are getting older. She just wants the better for yourself and I guess having a full time job is what she thinks is best for you. You can keep that flexible job and at the same time have a full time one. It is time to challenge yourself. Think. What do you really want in life? No one will be a loser in the future. You deserve to become successful. "I looked down on you, you can't do anything to be successful." Make this as your motivation to keep your flame burning. You will be successful, you just have to do right things right.
