Telecommuting

Telecommuting Attractive Option for Gen-Y Workers - Emily Driscoll
“Studies have shown that telecommuters are more productive than their office-bound colleagues,” Davis says. “They use less sick time, there’s less tardiness, [they] have improved morale, and companies can draw from a wider pool of candidates because they're not geographically limited.”

Telecommuting cuts overhead expenses for companies because they need less office space and supplies. It also cuts down on inter-office socializing and distractions, leading to an increase in productivity.

Telecommuting is not for everyone; you have to be self-disciplined and independent enough to work on your own. If you thrive in a group setting, you may miss the interaction with your colleagues.
