We are hoping to move from the city to our property. Traveling back and forth, 1.75 hrs each way, every weekend stinks, and we want to get started on our homesteading life. Each weekend is extremely busy, from Friday evening when we get there to Sunday evening when we leave with all of the maintenance and projects we have going. We currently rent in the city, so we wouldn't be selling a home, but we will save money by not paying rent itself and utilities. My wife's employer has an office in the town closest to our property. An individual at that office is planning to retire at the end of the summer, opening up a position which is the same position my wife currently holds at her current office. In general, due to advances in technology, I can work from anywhere, although I currently am always in the physical office. So if everything "works out", my question is, how is it working from home on a regular basis? I'm sure I will be traveling to the office at least once a month, perhaps once a week - too early to tell. My concerns are 1) I have been with my current employer since graduating from college in 2010 and am very happy working for them. I was very fortunate to have been promoted during that time. I feel as though not being in the office may reduce my ability to advance in my career at my current employer. I do not want to be doing exactly what I do now, in 10 years. 2) Moving back to my hometown (pop. 12k) will limit job opportunities due, obviously, to less employers. What does it take to be able to switch career paths?
I do feel as though I would be able to fulfill my current duties without sacrificing my quality of work. But, how is it working most every day by yourself, in a home office? Any advice, tips, etc., please!
