It is a general mentality of people that one has to go to the office which is probably miles away from home, beating the crowd and wasting hours & energy in the journey.
If you have the the right skill set, exposure, experience & knowledge in a specific field, you can take up assignments and work frome.
I have been working from home for over a decade now from Kolkata & am earning good enough to support my family.
All it takes is to try experimenting with different types of work until you fit in the perfect one that you love to peform.
Believe me, you will love working from home and also be besides your spouse & children, watching them grow. Given current world scenario, WFG is the best bet to stay alive with your family and at least try your best to love long.
Love life!
