Having a full-time job and spending time with your kids should be a good combination, but unfortunately this is rarely a fact. A lot of parents travel long distances towards work and being stuck in traffic jams is a daily event to them. This means little time to share with your family as the rest of the evening is absorbed by the normal day-to-day routine. Nowadays employees in the ‘knowledge industries’ spend a lot of time working on computers, so in many cases this work can be done at home. There is no requirement to be physically in the office. This is why ‘telecommuting’ gains high interest these days. Working at least a day or two from home, can have its upsides. No need to lose hours by going to work, you can spend more time with your family, avoid the stress of traffic jams and you have more flexible hours. A no brainer.
Personally I think that when you’re still young and you live with your parents, telecommuting wouldn’t be suitable. You still have to build up your social network and contact at work is a crucial thing. Opposed to having a family, a lot of advantages go together with it.
