I’ve never had a WFH job and I generally don’t think I’d personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn’t like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I’m not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.
I’m a software developer, so there’s a lot of WFH positions at least compared to other fields. But unless you have particularly good connections you would probably need to get a related degree if you wanted a job at most places. I’ve also heard it’s not a good time to be applying unfortunately. You might be able to try for some WFH consulting work related to your current job. Big software companies will hire contractors for temporary work too I guess, but they would probably still want experienced candidates. For me, this was just a position I applied to a few years ago and was lucky enough to get an offer. I don’t think there’s a secret to it, sorry.
Ok. No i graduated highschool in 96. Farmed for 20 years after, got hurt. Now I’m just a parts manager at a small business. Just bored with it. I want change but at the same time I get off at 5 and am able to be with my family.
The downside is my boss, and pay even though he gives me vacation days, I am hardly ever allowed to use them in the summer time To begining of September . He homeschools his kid because he’s a dumbass maga clown. So he thinks it’s ok for my kids to miss School in September. if I want to go on a trip for a week. No. Which makes going on a family vacation hard.
That’s rough. I hope you are able to find something more flexible.
