Work-at-Home Ideas

Many find family friendly work by working from home. Whether you have your own business or you work for someone else, working from home can often be compatible with family life. Sometimes you can work around your kids schedules and forgo childcare. At the very least you avoid commuting time and have the flexibility to attend kids events or take care of a sick child.

Unfortunately, finding work that you can do from home is a challenge. Many parents, however, have found work-at-home opportunties by either negotiating the opportunity to work from home with their current employer or by going out on their own in their current field. While you can make some decent money selling things online, more lucrative work-at-home careers tend to be more traditional professions that you happen to work at from home instead of an office. For example, Yahoo recently mentioned some more lucrative work-at-home careers including public relations, freelance writing, graphic design, realty and financial planning.
