I’ve been browsing many blogs lately. Of course I have to stop at the “About Me” page of each site. I’m finding that more and more people work from home!

My question is how do you do this? What I mean is how do you get the ‘work from home’ job? I would love to be able to work from home and in my line of work, it would be a piece of cake. I’m a programmer, and can just as easily type in code from home as from an office. I wouldn’t mind doing web design/development either. I feel I’m pretty knowledgeable about the web stuff…probably more so than the programming.

I just don’t seem to be as lucky in that area, I guess. My current job could just as easily be done from home and my boss knows it. The problem is he has no say in the matter, his higher ups do (for example the state governor). So I’m stuck coming in to an office 8:30-5:30 everyday when I could do the same thing from the convenience of my home.

Is there anyone out there willing to give me a job where I can work from home, but also get the pay (or better) that I’m making now along with the excellent benefits?

Or is that the compromise of working from home, not as good pay and not as good benefits? I’m very interested, because when the time comes for us to plan for a family, I’d like to work from home so I can be with my child and not dump him/her off at daycare for 10 hours a day.

Any advice on how to go about this will be extremely helpful.
