[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741221, member: 23349"] That’s a great point Smithmom. I suppose it depends on what someone is looking for in employment. Challenge and intellectual stimulation? Earning your own money? A sense of accomplishment? Social interaction? If social interaction is the primary goal, and face to face is important to you, you’re right working from home may not suffice. But I will say I do get a lot of interaction in my job via phone and web/video conference. Sometimes too much! I have clients I’ve worked with for years that I’ve gotten to know quite well. With today’s technology it just opens up a lot of new and different opportunities for some people who may not be physically able to function in a traditional workplace or who don’t want to. But you’re right, if part of what you are looking for is developing face to face relationships with chit chat over lunch etc you won’t have that. [/QUOTE]
