flexible work

In addition to planning a business, I am also looking for a part-time job, preferably telecommute. We don't need the money yet, thank goodness, but I would like to be a back-up for my husband. I am worried that the longer I am unemployed the less employable I become.

I found a local job placement firm which specializes in flexible work arrangements but they are looking for people with a bachelors degree and 10 years of experience. So doing the math, they want women who have waited into their thirties to have children.

One potential positive outcome of the larger economic woes would be increased flexible work options. I think it would be a great deal for an employer to pay me to work part-time, get my most productive hours, and save money by not paying me benefits. I'm sure someone will fall for this eventually . . .
