Nowadays,it seems that a lot of people prefer working from home rather than getting a normal job and working for a boss a company/corporation. I've tried working for a corporation and right now i've decided to try working from home home using my pc for a change. So far, i haven't earned that much yet working from home,and ofcourse I don't have the usual benefits like medical,dental,insurance that you get working for a company, but I do have more time for myself and my family, and I don't get stressed as much.
For those of you who have tried it both ways, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each, and ultimately which one is better?

Hi,
As each individual vary in getting satisfaction the same is effected their work too. The other side is benefit if one if well financial build I hope a better home job is better in other side the time, our home needs other home benefits are also got. Were working in office I have it is under certain rules and regulations of the Administrator. More we are forced to obey certain rules unless we a part that office.Ultimately I hope it is the job satisfaction one get is more effected.

I think the comfort of working home and the less of stress is one of the main reason why people prefer woking home. As long as the money is good and can be compared to office salary then why not work home.

Hello there BubbleGum
I have been working from my home office for 6 years now and wouldn't have it any other way. But I make money and that makes it all worthwhile.
I spent my my entire life, from age 16 until just 6 years ago making other people rich because I am a hard worker. But I wished for many years to be able to be my own boss and now I am and loving it.
I get to write off a lot of things in my house and office at tax time also.

I would say working from home is better if only there were normal paying jobs that you could do at home. The advantages of working from home is you are your own boss and you dont have any one breathing down your neck. You can also take breaks whenever you want. And of course yes, you are missing out on all the benefits a real job can bring in but if you have a husband that works at a real job and gets benefits then it all works out ok.

Well yes working from home would be better. But it is hard to tell anymore what probrams are ripoffs or what programs you really make money with. I have found that for the most part that program that askes for money upfront are ripoffs. I would be careful who you give your information to or your email. Request more information of a phone number. If you can not speak to someone live and they are not listed with the bbb.org then dont sign up for them and for God sake dont send any money.
