Views:129 | By: Lenah The world has changed. The 9–5 hustle in traffic, office gossip, and fluorescent lights isn’t the only way to earn a living anymore. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent, a student, in-between jobs, or just craving flexibility, working from home is no longer a pipe dream. It's a present reality—and for many, a necessary shift.
