To those whose kids have graduated and are working

But I can work from home in case I cannot really drive (as an example, for severe back pain, or being contageous with cold). For that matter, if you are not sick severely, you can work from hospital bed this days (at some places, in some positions) as long as they have wireless.



Not everyone can work from home. Consider teachers, salespeople, and even doctors and dentists themselves. Consider my husband, whose work requires a high-level security clearance and can only be done in a secure facility. Even if work can be done from home, as is the case in my job, it requires a computer and and Internet connection. I have colleagues who cannot afford those luxuries at home. And there are companies that forbid working at home because they don’t trust their employees to get anything done if they’re not being watched over.
