Okay, thinking about this took me a few minutes because I can't think of a reason for both scenarios. I hate working so why would I want to do it in either situation?
I work freelance. So I guess you could say this is a job I'm okay with that pays me a lot less than I would receive if I worked in an office. I guess my life already presents what option I would go with.
I generally don't like people very much. Hence why working freelance from the comfort or discomfort of my home works perfectly for me. I mostly earn in dollars so that places me slightly ahead of a lot of people my age who work in uncomfortable situations... And by uncomfortable, I mean any job that gets me to leave my house every morning for 5 or 6 days a week.
There was a period when I earned a lot less than I do now from working at home and I still found peace in it. My friends who had jobs and left their homes seemed a lot better off than me coz they earned more but I had more peace.
I love controlling my time and doing what I need to do based on a schedule I create by myself. I don't mind deadlines but I appreciate the flexibility of being in control of when I work within the time frame given to me.
I've never properly applied for a job. I've always been too lazy to actually drop an application letter or even prepare a proper CV. The thought of doing that makes me very tired. The stress and disappointments that come with it never seem worth it either.
Maybe I could try out being a hybrid staff. Maybe. But for now, I think life works better earning less and being happy and comfortable with what I do. Working in an uncomfortable situation would probably make me sick and I'll end up quitting abruptly like I did the last time.
