I was listening to radio 4 and they were discussing working from home, there were a mixture of guests including so called experts and people who did work from home. The upshot of the programme was that the UK economy is gradually changing into a place where the traditional 9 to 5 full time office job is disappearing. Instead people are more likely to work several part time jobs, some of which are done from home.
As jobs become less secure more people are turning towards jobs that they can do from home. A job used to be for life but these days you cannot rely on any one employer. If you only have one job and you lose it then you have lost your only source of income. If however you have several part time jobs you have a more secure source of income and this leaves you less exposed to the vagaries of the economy and a single employer.
If you have only ever worked for a single employer in a 9 to 5 job then having several smaller jobs may seem a strange concept and seem a little unnerving. You know the old saying, don't put all your eggs in one basket, well if you use this maxim for work you can get back your job security. What's the chance of losing 4 part time jobs all at the same time?
Typing from home jobs are the ideal way to get into this type of working career. Being able to do several part time work from home jobs that can be done on your computer means that it will be like just doing one job. You also have the flexibility of when you do the work, this means that it is easier to fit your other home and family commitments around your day.
