jobs from home/online

[one...two...tree 2,762]

A good friend of mine works from home as a medical transcriptionist.

My husband works from home several days a month and they are talking about making it 100% of the time possibly as early as this summer. He is a computer software architect and programmer.

I hope the trend to let people who can do the job effectively at home increases. Every morning on my 60 mile commute, I think of the insanity of the situation that so many are in nowadays.

i still can't believe you commute from LB to LA! anything more than 30-45 minutes is too much for me!

I know ...100 dollars a week on gas is killing me. When my wife starts back to work - I'm going to try to get a hybrid. I looked into the train routes, but it would be nearly impossible. LA is one place where a car is a necessity if you work outside the home. Moving closer is out of the question because of my teenager's school and friends.

I'm lucky in that my commute is only 10 minutes. Still, with all the school traffic and with the buses too, it turnes into at least 30 minutes some days. Considering what the gas prices are like, it would be good business and environmental sense...well, not for the large gasoline corporations.

I hate traffic. I'd rather walk than inch along in a car.

I hear you! Most of our traffic here in the mornings and afternoons (we are a small town) is school traffic: parents that take their kids to school and the HS students who drive (scary at times). If it weren't for me working IN the school system my daughter would be riding the bus. I just wish more parents would allow this...would make for a lighter commute.

Hopefully, if and when I do change professions, I'll be able to find a company that allows telecommuting.

Yeah, Joe is looking forward to the gas savings as well as the wear and tear on his car and saving lots of time. He drives 26 miles to work each day - a trip that during rush hour takes up to 1 1/2 hours so he leaves at 7:30 in order to make it in for 9. The return trip is just as long. All but 4 miles of that is I-75. If there are accidents - which there almost always are - or other bizarre events like jumpers on bridges, it can stretch inordinately longer. The longest it has taken him is over 6 1/2 hours to drive home one night because the police stopped traffic both directions because of a jumper. He used to live another 35 miles south of where we are now so he had a 56 mile or more drive then each way, depending on where in Atlanta he was working at the time. We live where we are because we can afford the cost of living here - the house we have now would cost at least 2 x as much closer to the City - and in the north end possibly 3 times.
