Gordon, 'Telecommuting', certainly, can be a 'work from home' kind of deal
but it is much more than the 'work from home' offers that one sees
advertised in the back of magaines.
I do the significant kind of telecommuting and many other people do this as
well. It is not something to be taken lightly--and there is a perception
that exists that says that it is not a good idea for companies. I beg to
differ.
It simply is not the kind of engagement that is for everyone-you have to be
independent, you have to be able to motivate yourself and complete work when
no one is looking over your shoulder...it is not going to be a good deal for
everyone all of the time. And if it is someone who needs to have manager and
company nearby at all times, well, perhaps that person should not even
consider this type of employment.
Now I think that you were alluding to the work-at-home kind of thing that is
advertised in the backs of magazines (for example, stuffing envelopes or
assembling things-perhaps this idea comes to me from the term 'cottage
industry').

Subject: Report On "Work From Home" Offers
Hello, my name is Gordon Willis. I'm working on an assignment for class
that focuses on finding as many "work from home" offers as possible, and
determining the validity of their nature, as well as how easy it is for
someone to actually earn any sort of living from doing so. My report will
attempt to cover all work from home offers, but will have a particular focus
on technical communication, since that is my major.
If any of you have...
- A offer that you are curious about and would like me to investigate
- A story involving a valid offer or a scam you would be willing to share
- A friend who has a story
... please contact me and I would be happy learn anything you have
available....
