Not all people enjoy a 9-to-5 working day in an office
Most of us got used to the 9-to-5 working scheme. Yet others prefer a more flexible working schedule and go in for freelance jobs. What are the pros and cons of working from home?
On the one hand, freelance is becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger workers, who are more flexible and enthusiastic about having more independence in their work. Another good thing about freelance is that one can be his/her own boss and take initiative instead of being told to do things. What is more, you can adjust your working hours to your individual bio-rhythms and do your work with maximum productivity. And finally, when working on a long-term project, you are able to take a few days off if you feel like it.
On the other hand, working from home requires much self-discipline and courage. To begin with, you must learn to rely fully on solely on yourself. Therefore, if you need an impulse or a command from your boss to begin with your work, you will have to think twice before switching to freelance. In addition, a freelancer must be a highly qualified person, that is, he/she should be able to rely on their expertise as they don’t have experienced colleagues they can turn to for help.
To sum up, I can say that the decision to work from home must be based on your personal qualities and aptitudes. Some find freelance very convenient, while others get snowed under unfinished work and miss working with other people. Personally, I don’t mind doing freelance as I enjoy working on my own and I can always turn to my friends for a chat as well as for a piece of advice.
