Finding At Home Work During A Pandemic
I accidentally prepared myself a career that would keep me employed during a pandemic. For the past four years I floated between being an insurance agent for a huge brokerage back to being self employed selling insurance at home. It was a struggle for me because when I went out of the house I made more money and had more benefits. On the other side working from home allowed me the freedom I needed to be happy with my work environment. Recent struggles with health issues/personal issues have made me question if I really wanted to make the jump to full time at home work. I mean looking at the pros; no commute , extra time with my kiddo, not a lot of micromanaging, wear whatever you want, literally roll out of bed for work, and most of all extra time to manage my home life and work life towards a healthy balance. The cons at first can outweigh the pros. It was very hard to get started finding work from home. The internet can sometimes drag you down a rabbit hole of information and there are plenty of scams. I even went to freelancer.com and was suggestively asked to take my clothes off on camera. I was hesitant but ultimately just went back to what I knew and that was insurance. The place offered me a 1099 contract in 2018 and I took it because I was desperate to find a place to call home and also work from home. It was not bad at first but there are a lot of things to consider when being a freelance/contract worker. You have to file your own taxes, you are now solely responsible for keeping yourself motivate, you have to be a very organized person, and sometimes you forgo any benefits and have to get them on your own. For me this was not hard because I was and insurance agent and knew how to get my own benefits online but for other people this may not be something for you. Eventually I got tired of that company because of inconsistency in pay etc. The place I worked for before worked like a well oiled machine and it was hard to find something to compare. Eventually I went back there but it was short lived. By February of 2020 I had again walked out of the insurance world and took a step back.
