Good Jobs From Home

It seems that these days, everyone is looking for a way to work from home. I can certainly understand why. Being able to wear whatever you want, wake up when you feel like it and not have to deal with traffic are all pretty appealing prospects for me, but I personally, like having a place to go during the day. For those people that are looking to do something where they don't have to leave the house, a number of good jobs from home are out there.

One of the jobs from home that I have always found the most interesting is that of tutor. I have a friend who teaches piano lessons to young students. She has the patience of Job, and is very well respected in our community. She also has a massive house and a very nice car. She learned to play piano in college where she majored in music, and never had any desire to anything besides give private lessons, She charges $30 an hour and has 48 regular students who practice weekly, so it is not hard to see why she is doing so well for herself.

For a number of years, I had one of those jobs from home that many of my friends were jealous of, and that was working as a freelance writer. I covered sporting events for local schools and wrote features and news stories. While this required me to go out into the field occasionally, the vast majority of work that I did was from home. It was great, because I could sleep until as late as I wanted and set my own work schedule. I always knew that if I worked hard, I would make good money, and if I slacked off, I would not. I love the simplicity of it!

One of the most interesting jobs from home that I have heard about recently is working as an architect. My uncle does this for a living, and while he does have to go to the construction site occasionally to make sure his plans are being followed, for the most part, he works out of an office in his basement, and does so well for himself that he will often take three or four vacations a year. By that, I mean he takes his family all over the country and world three or four times a year.

There are a number of jobs from home that can be fun to do and allow you to make a pretty good living. I have worked from home, and I loved it when I did, but have also worked at an office, which I really enjoy as well. I guess it really comes down to what one is looking for in a profession.
