Some Plusses and Minuses to Working at Home:

Pluses:

• You set your own hours.
• You work when you want to work, day or night, weekday or weekend, etc. so if you're a night owl, you can work late and sleep in.
• You can choose your own work.
• Depending on the job, you are your own boss.
• You can run errands during the day.
• You can take care of others - babies, parents, grandparents, or siblings.
• You can travel more often, since you can do your work wherever you are.
• You can multitask - do work while doing other things that need to be done.
• You don't have to commute to work - and you can work in your pajamas if you want!
• You don't have the extra expenses of commuting, work clothes, or work lunches.

Minuses:

• Your income is based on your work, so if you don't sell enough or get enough done, you won't make as much.
• There is no steady income - since unless you are working for another company at home, you don't make a certain amount per hour.
• You have to worry about health insurance as well as other job "benefits" on your own - 401k, etc.
• You don't get sick days or vacation days...anytime you don't work, you don't make money.
