(9,314 posts)I have a strong work ethic and I have had some top-notch jobs. Most of them were tremendously stressful. I stayed in that field because my daughter was attending a music conservatory and I needed the money to put her through. Conservatories are extremely expensive, and people who go there to teach music often go 5 years. They have to learn all the instruments they are going to teach. It took me ten years to pay off all my loans for her education.
So now I work for myself from home, I love the business of helping others, it gives me great joy and happiness and I never have to worry about losing my job. Best of all, no office politics.
The only thing I regret is that I did not start this on a part-time basis while I was working because I could have had my customer base built up and all the training finished when I left the orthodox business arena.
So if you are reading this perhaps you should give some thought as to trying an online business when you reach that point in life you can work it. You also have no commuting costs and you can work in your pajamas if you so desire, setting your own hours.
Happy holiday, everyone.
