Working remotely, usually said to be working from home, has become more popular in recent years. People are making a decent living from remote jobs, with the added benefit of working in their comfortable space, less work place issues, and being more present for family.
Remote working has been beneficial to students, who want to earn some income, and build an experiential profile for the job market.
Most sectors, particularly larger firms now have remote workers who execute their work obligations without having to physically sit in the office daily, or even having to show up at all.
