Data entry gives parents a way to work and play

Being a parent is hard work. There is so much to consider about your child’s life, discerning what is best for them on a daily basis is a full time job in and of itself. Raising a child means having money for education, medical issues, clothing, and toys, and some people find it difficult in this current economic climate to survive on a single income. But it’s not all about the money; some people feel that they are doing their child a disservice by working at home. The theory is that the child will get selfish impression out of this; that everything revolves around them. Another theory is that children need to acknowledge that their parents are people, too, and that having a child doesn’t mean that one’s social or wok life is over.

So where is the balance, between being there for your child and being there for yourself? I do not claim to have all the answers to child rearing, but I do have a simple solution to this dilemma.

Date entry jobs.

Data entry is an often over looked field, and when people do think of it, they imagine employees locked in a basement inputting page after page of data. But entry job is a fun and easy career that can work to suit anyone and everyone’s employment needs. Whether you want to work full time or part time, at home or in an office, during the day or during the night, there is an entry job for you.

But first, what is data entry?

Simply put, a data entry technician will input data from a physical source or another computer file into a specially designed spread sheet. This information can be any number of things; school grades, medical records, birth dates of army veterans, shopping centre profits, rent receipts, any and every possible job will require some form of data entry work at some point in time.

Because of this, the work is always interesting. If you choose to freelance, you can be working with a primary school one day and a confidential research plant the next.

Working from home is another great benefit of data entry. Because data entry involves work on computers, you can do all of your work without ever having to leave your bedroom. This is wonderful news for parents who want to both work and stay at home for their kids.

No one should tell you what is best for your child, and you alone know when they are ready for responsibilities. If and when your child is ready to have two working parents, think of data entry as a possibly career path.
