See this little guy here, that’s my son. I work from home but have to travel due to the type of work I do. He’s only 4, but he knows what it meens when daddy gets on MARTA (Atlanta Transit). It meens that daddy is going to the airport and will be gone for awhile. From the back seat, I hear, “No airport daddy” and my heart crumbles.
The problem is that no office job pays as much as those that require travel. So instead, I’m going to have to find a way to tighten up the budget and make a 9 to 5 job work. Seeing him two or three times a week when I’m on the road alot is really getting to me and it is putting alot of stress on my wife. She and I always help each other out when I’m home; sharing the load has really made life easier for us. But when I’m gone, she has to do it all and I hate that.
I’m going to keep looking and hopefully will find something which will let me spend more time with my family, but until then…...I’ll make the most of the time I have.
