This past week, I saw an interesting article written by Alex Sol called “12 Best Work From Home Jobs – Online Jobs That Pay in 2020”. As I lay in bed, reading, I thought “Why can’t I do these things?” I continued reading and decided I could! I sent the link to myself via email (so it wouldn’t slip off my radar) and in the subject line I typed “DO ALL THESE THINGS”.
Why do I want to ‘work from home’? Well, I want “home” to be flexible. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to travel and see the world. So far I have been able to visit the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Martens, and Bahamas), Mexico, South Africa, and 46 of the 50 states. If I could envision the perfect life, it would be to travel all over the world and see every continent.
Currently, I am a school teacher and counselor. I have a bachelors in Elementary Education and a masters degree in Counseling and Human Resources (school counseling and higher education). I love what I do! I truly enjoy working with students, helping them learn and grow. In 2022, I decided that I am going to chase my dreams of traveling. I accepted a teaching position in JAPAN! My family and I have been living in Japan since October of 2022.
The opportunity to work in Japan is time limited. I will only be there for 3-5 years. Which got me thinking… What will I do after Japan? Will I still teach? Move on to school administration? OR… is there a way for me to do what I love AND travel the world? Could a work from home job or an online business work for me?
I’m confident that it can! Especially with the information and help I’ve gotten from reading Alex’s website. His information, combined with other resources I’ve managed to find, has given me the courage to try. I hope that you will join me on this journey. Whether I'm triumphantly successful or fail miserably, I am certain that it’s going to be a fun ride!
Until next time,
Misty
