Working from home, is it a dream or a reality? The truth is, you decide.
When you were young, you had your schedules and agenda lined up for you. You were ushered into phonic classes, piano lessons and were forced to eat your greens. When you were older, you were enrolled into kindergarten, followed by primary, secondary and then tertiary education. Some of us were forced and the luckier ones were coerced into subjects and fields that we dislike in colleges or universities.
What about now? Are you in a job that you absolutely hate or no longer passionate about? Have you been telling the people around you that you want to work from home and rid yourself of the regular nine to five job?
