I’m sure there are many people who would love to change the way they work, escape the corporate cubicle or tiny office without even a window in order to swap it for their own homeoffice with a view. Additionally, they’d be able to be at home with the children, which is the reason for the majority of virtual assistants’ decision to quit the corporate life, for example.
In past years it was readily accepted that mums would go back to work as soon as they found a good childcare service and the baby reached toddler stage, but nowadays people question this former trend and it’s probably a good thing. Looking at the rate of kids nowadays getting into trouble as they don’t have any parent around, it can only be beneficial to have more time available for your children.
Other people decide to switch into a home office because of the way they like to work. Some want to work a different set of hours than the usual 9-5 as they might be nightowls and most productive in the evenings. Others want to be able to be more creative in their profession, which is often not possible in mainstream jobs in big offices. There are lots of reasons why people are starting to realise that they could work differently than they used to work, but before you take the plunge, check out this article by the Freelance Switch blogger: http://freelanceswitch.com/start/kick-starting-a-freelance-business-when-you-cant-afford-to-fail/
