I'm retired, but I worked as a blackjack dealer and a florist most of my life. All were jobs where I had to deal with the public. I lucked out and never had to work in an office. Truthfully, I liked dealing with people and threaten to go back even though I am older!

My daughter, on the other hand, prefers working from home. She must have worked the past 6 years or so remotely in software and gaming development. According to her, if she has to go back into an office, she will quit and get another remote job. Of course, that is different for her as she is in a high demand field.

I don't think I would like office work at all. My field gave the freedom to do what I liked. Not high demand and not high paying, but it was enjoyable for a person like me. :)

I couldn't agree with you more! By working from home, I save an hour of driving time every day. Five additional hours during the week is truly the difference between getting my miles in and not. And I know many other WAH workers who state the same thing!
