In the past, a
9 to 5 job was considered as the norm for travel agents. However, with the
advent of the Internet and the rise of technological innovations like
smartphones and tablets, more and more travel agents are able to do the tasks
expected of them without having to step out of their homes. Here are the
benefits of being a home-based
travel agent:
More family time
Some corporate
jobs are so demanding that workers don’t get to spend quality time with their
families. Sometimes they have to stay late in the office and leave the kids with
the babysitter or the nice next-door neighbors. If you work from home, you can
be there for your kids when they need you.
Less commute, less gas expenses
Americans are
said to spend an average of 50 minutes a day traveling to work. If you factor
in being caught in heavy traffic jams during rush hour, heading to work is
really a hassle. With home-based employment, you don’t have to worry about the
commute, plus you save on gas.
More control
In a corporate
setting, you are expected to follow certain company policies. With home-based
work, you have full control of your time—as long as you make the necessary
travel arrangements for your clients within the timeframe agreed upon. You can
work for four hours straight and take as long as you want for your lunch or
coffee breaks.
