A comparison between Home Based jobs and Office Employments: Which is better?

My teacher in Science and Technology, Prof. Eufemio Rasco who wrote the book, “Unfolding Gene Revolution” would agree that the world has become flat. In one of his require book review last semester, we tackle on the book about the world being flat which enumerated various classifications on hoe it has become so. This includes the idea of the internet; off shoring and outsourcing.

It is then inevitable that jobs today have already been set on the internet. It started with the idea of the call center, which still requires the essence of the “work place”; a desk and a computer with carrels at the side.

But somehow, work has also evolved. In fact, many jobs are now home based today; from writing to teaching online and the likes to sophisticated jobs like editorial work and making animations and 3d operations.

The question is which job or work is better in terms of income, quality of work and effort. These are three criteria which I consider comparative with regards to Home based jobs and Office Employments.

Income

Home based jobs usually are higher paying. An employer usually gets more than 10, 000 a month and a minimum of 6,000 a month. But you don't get that for passively, you work for it of course. Most importantly, home based jobs are skilled jobs which require you to be very good with your craft say writing for instance.

On the other hand, office employment most of the time are low paying but there are also high paying like call centers and those sophisticated firms. The advantage of this job is that you don't really get too burn out even if your in a "building" because your work end and starts at your desk.

Quality of Work

Usually, being employed at home is a little less sophisticated than working in a skyscraper. But if your the kind who goes to WIFI stations all day and just drink coffee, your as good as an executive.

The Quality of work is just similar in all aspect. They both entail enthusiasm for you to like what your doing.

Effort

Effort is the most important thing one should weigh when it comes to choosing for the right job. Home based jobs always require you 100% effort because of the proximity to clients that yo have to compensate. Being employed in a building makes one passive sometimes because one could always use their charm.

So which job is better? Actually, it is just up to the employee whether he/she wants to have a higher rank in her workplace. Home based or not, the real score is how well you fit to your position and how well his or her efforts are complimented.
