Question Do u work from home?

Does anyone know of any 'work from home' jobs that are actually real?
Does anyone actually like their job?

I recently quit my job and I know I need to start looking for another Every job I've ever had I like at first but then I absoloutly hate it. I'm not the type of person that can just go test out a lot of jobs because I get really nervous. In an interview, just talking to daily people, umm pretty much a lot of things makes me turn brght red and start to shake! Yeah it's REALLY embarrassing. Once I'm at a job I do learn really fast and my employer always likes me, but I always end up hating it so much and being so stressed or so bored. I dunno I know everyone has to have a job and most don't like it so maybe I'm just being a big baby. Well I can sit here and write forever but I'll spare you! I've never went to college and I'm thinking about it but I would still have to have a job.. so please if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. Are there really jobs I cold do from home?

Thanks ladies!

There have been a few threads about this, here is one you may find interesting

I personally couldn't stand working at home full time but some people enjoy it. What have you not enjoyed about your jobs in the past? Maybe you need to find a job you can stick to for a while and go to college to pursue an interest of yours. One thing I have to say is I'm thankful that going to college has given me a lot of opportunities. My mom, who didn't go to college, has had to endure a job she doesn't like for over 20 years but she had to pay the bills somehow.

I wasn't enjoying my job for a while but I was able to talk to my manager and we've worked something out so that my job has become more enjoyable. Otherwise I was looking to leave but I wouldn't have left without a job set up first.

I've always been interested in working from home too, especially now that I have a baby on the way. I'll be doing a bit of work from home for the first year after the baby is born, but then I'll go back to teaching full-time. I will be tutoring and teaching piano lessons from home.

For you, however, it seems like you really need to figure out what you would enjoy. If you don't enjoy the job, you won't like it at home any more than you like it in some other building. What are your interests? Maybe we can help you pinpoint a career if we know more about what you're into.

For ten years I worked in boring corporate jobs that made me miserable and didn't challenge me. Now I teach high school English and even though it's stressful and I complain about it, I actually love it. It took me a while to get to a career I like, but I managed, and so can you!

maybe you work so hard at a job that you like that you suffer burnout then and hate it?
