I worked as a call center agent for 7 years. I can’t deny
the fact that coming to work 5 days a week was also a bit of a challenge
considering the stress of commuting and beating the traffic; the frustrations
of not being with your loved ones on every special occasions; the pain of not
being able to take a leave off from work even if you’re sick or not feeling
well; and having no excuse at all for not coming to work even if you don’t feel
like it. But since I loved my job, I gladly endured all those struggles. After
giving birth to our first adorable baby boy, 3 years ago, I finally decided to
quit my job. Now that I’m a full-time mom, I know how difficult it is for my
husband to provide for our living all by himself. So I thought of getting a job
that can be done at the comfort of our home. I am still searching.
