I've written before about working from home and I still do that through a company called Arise out of Miramar, Florida. I've had the same client for almost five years now and will start training this week for a second client through that company and I find myself in a curious place.
There are other opportunities presenting themselves for those of us who are reliable and self-motivated and able to work from home without having someone stand over us to get work completed. I find myself researching topics on a whim or to debunk some nonsense I've seen on facebook, but I may have the ability to turn that natural curiosity into a job. If so, that would be a nice addition to my work at home world.
Then there's the restaurant. The same restaurant I wrote about last summer that I still love. Going to bartending school was a leap of faith that it could turn into something else helpful. It has turned into an opportunity for me to move up a little and become a key manager a few days a week. While it doesn't pay a lot to be a key manager, it does say a lot about their faith in my abilities to manage, watch my management style, and how I manage myself. I've also been told that I am on a list of potentials to begin management training at some time in the future, which could be very beneficial to me in the long run and could include benefits and paid vacations that I haven't had the luxury of enjoying since mid 2002.
Would I give up working from home to dedicate a minimum required fifty-five hours per week in the restaurant world? Until recently I didn't even know that might become an option. If you were a single woman in your mid-forties would you do it?
