Whenever I look through the advertised jobs in the local paper lately they all seem to be part time. Data entry positions are hard to find whether you’d prefer to work from home or commute to an office in town. I’m glad I’m not unemployed at the moment. The current climate does not auger well for those adrift from the workforce. If I hadn’t started my own data entry business when I did, I may very well have been lining up in the dole queue or reluctantly accepting a part time job doing something I didn’t want to do.
I like to know in advance how much time I’ll be spending at work. I don’t want a part time data entry job and I don’t know why anyone would. Everyone has different needs and casual work may very well be appropriate for a certain portion of a population, but for me a full time position is a priority. I have a lot of hobbies and I could easily occupy my time if I had to but I’d prefer to enter data for eight hours a day and spend my free time doing whatever I want when it rolls around.
