Has anyone sucessfully gone from a "go into work" job to working at home 40 hours/week without starting your own business? Did you take a big paycut? Thanks!

Thanks
for
your
suggestions.
I
am
still
trying
to
make
parenthood
work
for
us
and
still
be
able
to
provide
for
her.

That
scenario
in
which
a
person
would
switch
from
a
regular
job
to
working
from
home
without
opening
his/her
own
business
is
rather
the
exception
than
the
rule.
From the way you've formulated your questions I understand that your income depends greatly on your paycheck (which is the case with most people). In this situation, following mamajama's advise is best. One thing to keep in mind though: start ups take energy and money and you have to be prepared for that. On the flip side, it is sooo rewarding to make that work! Good luck with everything!

If
you
don't
want
to
start
your
own
business,
you
may
or
may
not
take
a
big
paycut.
There
are
so
many
variables
and
income
levels
vary
hugely
for
work-at-home-moms.
It
depends
on
your
field,
experience,
motivation,
etc
etc.
Most
people
probably
deal
with
a
big
pay
cut
at
least
in
the
beginning.
Also,
you
have
to
deal
with
lack
of
benefits,
which
is
a
serious
downside
in
the
long-term.
You
have
to
weigh
your
options.
Yes, you can definitely go into a 40hr/wk job, but it depends, again, on your situation and the field you're in.

Most
people
I
know
either
started
their
own
businesses
or
started
out
working
from
home
part
time.
That's
what
I'm
doing.
