Many people go about their lives in normal nine-to-five jobs or more traditional positions without ever thinking of the numerous opportunities available online nowadays. As technology has become increasingly relied on in more and more jobs, as well as influencing the creation of new ones, a new norm was established — an employee working from home.

At least 43 percent of Americans have been found to work at least some of the time at home, and that number is growing with each year that passes. Employees that work remotely are also reported as being more productive. The flexibility that remote positions allow obviously make a positive impact on workers and that appealed to me as a college student hungry to find some sort of calling beyond the classroom.
