I am fortunate to work for a company that allows this. I generally work 2 days from home, but can do it whenever needed. Bad weather, etc. So it's often more than that.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Work from HomeIt takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?
