I have always like a full time job away from home. Have never liked working from home. These days I have been working from home and I am not too happy about it. What kind of a job you and and what do you like?

There are people who love working from home but sometimes it could get boring too and they would miss the outside world. It's fun when you're surrounded by real people.

Once one grows older they like being at home instead of travelling to work everyday. Such times work from home options are very good.

@toniganzon Old would mean above 60 I think. In our country retirement age is 60 so after that people do not have any options of job an have to make do with whatever opportunities they get from home.

@mayka123 I'm 40. I'm not sure that falls the category of being old. When I think of old, I think of a retiring age and there'd be no work anymore.

I don't like to follow others. So yeah, I prefer working alone. But what type of jobs are there that can give me decent earnings?

There are not much options for working at home. Just now my office is shut so I am doing my office work from home. Or else we do not get enough earnings in work from home jobs.

Either full time job away from home or a home-based job is fine with me. I think what matter is that we are enjoying what we do and I feel grateful that I have work anyway. There are many people struggling to have a work that will give them money monthly. At present, I am working offline. I have my blog and I am working on it too, hoping that time come I will also receive earnings from it.

I have a full time job which I would have to retire from in a few years. After that I want to find some good opportunities to earn from home.

@annierose I think that depends on the country you live in. Good income from home is not possible in all countries.

@mayka123 It is possible. I have seen some people having a good stable income even they are just at home. Good luck on all your endeavors!

I like to work at home as I do not have to buy expensive office clothes (can work in my jammies), no bumper-to-bumper traffic, no expensive gasoline, I can make my own hours, etc.

@Spontaneo I feel comfortable in my bed. May be because I get a chance just once a week to work from my bed.

@mayka123 I usually sit at my desk, although working from home. Bed just does not feel comfortable.

I agree there is a lot to earn from the online world. But there is no monetary gain online so we need full time jobs to sustain us financially.

I too would like to be in my office and work online. One for the money and one because I like it. Yes there is a lot to be learnt from the online world.

I had been working at home for more than 3 years now. I had worked with different companies or organizations but it didn't work out. I find more blessings in doing online jobs.

I have done both and both have their pros and cons. Right now, I prefer working from home. Later I might want to go out to work. Depends on my mood and what point of life I am at.

I am at a point where I need the cash for paying my home instalments. So for that my online income is not sufficient.

I have health problems so have no choice but work from home. It can be interesting. Set a goal though this yr to work on getting my garage set up so i can run my offline business more smoothly from home.

All the best to you and will pray for your health. Having a designated place at home to work does help a lot. Hope you manage to set up your garage soon.

It's true though that most work from home jobs can earn you lesser than what you can earn on a corporatw job for instance but I think I'd prefer working from home so I won't have to endure the daily traffic just to get to work. I want to work from home full time but I'm not sure yet how where and when to start

I would have enjoyed working from home if the income was good enough. But after spending the whole day online anything comes in the kitty.

@rheicel Agree its never too late. But I have taken some loans for buying a house so have to ensure that I can pay the loan instalments every month. My salary at present enables me make the payments. Starting a business at this stage would be risky.
