Disadvantages of Working at Home

Although work-at-home jobs can be good opportunities for temporary, part-time jobs, they are really not as great as a lot of people think. It would be great to have a job that you can do whenever you want, never have to leave, and makea little extra cash, but there are some downfalls. There are a few advantages to these types of jobs, but let's look at thedisadvantages.
Scams. 95 percent of the work-at-home opportunities advertised all over the Internet is scams. These are just companieslooking to sell you their product, which, in this case, is a "job." But, you should and will never have to pay for areal, legitimate job. That's just an oxymoron. Most of these offers are scams.
Time. Work at home jobs can be quite time consuming. A lot of these jobs require long hours of sitting at the computerand typing. This is a lot of effort and thinking in some cases. The retribution is small. Sometimes, you may only getpaid fifty cents for some sort of assignment.
You will never make a really good income from a work-at-home job. Some positions, such as freelance writing, are betterthan others, but none of them will make you enough money to be able to support yourself or a family. They only put a little extra cash in your pocket. This is useful if you are a stay-at-home mom or a high school or college student, but,if you are looking for a good, high-paying job, work-at-home jobs will not do the trick.
Deadlines. With some writing jobs, you will receive deadlines. If you have a lot of work to do and you only complete aportion of it, you do not get paid even for what you did. It is all or nothing. This can be very stressful and infuriating sometimes; you may fall short one assignment and lose out on fifty dollars.
It is becoming quite hard to find a work-at-home job. A lot of these positions look great in the advertisements and theyprovide lots of extraordinary testimonials, but these are scams. None of those jobs are legitimate. It is very hardto find a legitimate work-at-home job that you do not have to pay for. There is only a very small amount of peopleand companies looking for writers and bloggers; you just have to get lucky or be the best in applying to one of thesepositions. The number of real people needing people to do work over the Internet is decreasing. Most of the "people thatlook like they want to hire are scams and people posting fake e-mails.
Work-at-home jobs can be very useful if you find one that is legitimate. They can put some good money in your pocket,depending on how much you work. But, basically, these jobs are a lot of hard work rewarded with little pay. So if you arelooking for a great job that you can support a family with, a work-at-home job is probably not the answer.
