Probably you are screaming "WHAT?!? HAS THIS GUY LOST HIS MARBLES?!!" Before you think of anything else... I will have a confession. The title is only half true. It's a crazy idea of mine to catch your attention. Hehe It's true that since the first of April I no longer have a job. Yes , I quit my job as an I.T. Administrator. That's the true half. The not so true part is I did it for myLot. Not entirely anyway. The real reason I quit my job is I wanted to become a freelancer both online and offline. Gotta cut this short. My toddler is calling for my attention. Hehe.

I hope that things work out for you. It might makes things a little easier for you. You can be your own boss in a way, and you don't have to commute to work.

You took the right decision. You can find lots of jobs on the internet if you have the skills. There is high demand for programers and writers an many other writing jobs.

@quantum2020 you are absolutely right. As one of my favorite author/ preacher said, " We are swimming in a sea of oppurtunities".

Actually I had been freelancing before. I guess the job that I have just left have enhanced my skills for my field. I have some offline prospects waiting for me now.

I think with your skill, you can easily find home-based jobs in IT. There is no need for IT professionals to be physically present to resolve an issue. They can solve the problem remotely.

That is true and that's the side i am exploring further. For now m best skill on network design and intallation which requires my presence to get the job done. M building up my web development skills though so i could get online jobs as well.

As an IT admin, I guess you see a lot of opportunities out there in the online world or you wont quit on your work. I once checked a website for freelance jobs and IT works are highly on demand. Good luck to your new work path
