Working at home versus working outside

I would like to know which is more preferable to you, working at home or working outside the home to earn a living. It would be great to just work at home but I still prefer going out there to earn my keep because I want to see people, interact, and see what's going on out there. How about you?

It really depends on the circumstance you are in. But for me i say working outside is better.. I mean if your home all day thats no fun.. Working in the office or anywhere outside is better than being stuck in your house all day :P Just my thoughts~

Yes, working outside is very interesting indeed! You see places and people. You feel that you are part of the world. Thanks for the response!

i rather work outside. i can make good money outside than sitting in the computer and work on the internet. and i don't trust any sites now. it's too hard to invest a money in a certain sites and lost it.

I'm such a home body, it borders on the ridiculous.. Except for the warmer months when hubby and AI are very social and out and about on his harley, I'm a very good hermit! And love it that way.. So, earning money at home is the thing for me.. [I wrote two books (about the book of rev/apoc and one other, so far) and am hoping to sell some of them! I'm now working on a fiction story.]

I would really prefer to work at home and take care of my family. I feel that it would really be different being able to have ones own time and not be accountable to some employer. I could just go to my children's school in case they have activities or be the one to bring them to school and pick them up. I really love taking care of my children and its something that I always look forward too. Taking care of them is so exhausting but very rewarding. I have started writing online and there is really potential here in the Philippines that I could make something good out of it. God willing, I may be able to just work at home one day.

For me i really like working outside too because of the feeling i get when i go out of the workplace after a hardworking day at work is a very fulfilling emotion another thing is that i also want to be around people and meet new people but on the other hand working online has a good side too because you have all the comforts of being at home because you are,hope you liked my response,have a nice day.

I'd love to work at home then I would not have to worry about the cost of child care and I could spend so much more time with them.

That's a very good comment, especially when you're a parent. I guess when I become a mother myself, I would change my choice. Thanks for the response!
