Work takes the most part of our time. Being children we saw our parents to go somewhere what they call “work”. Work gives them money and they buy toys, sweets and beautiful clothes. When Dad came home Mom gave him dinner and waited till the moment he was able to speak about his day and answer her questions. After that it was our time. He could play games, answer our endless “why?” and watch TV with us.
When we grew up and chose our professions and career, times changed. Computers entered the world, conquered it and started to change life.
More and more people stay at home and “come to work” in gowns or pajamas and slippers. They do not need to go to an office or any other place. They are freelancers. They work at home. In the morning Dad gets up rather early to take kids to school. Mom also gets up early to make breakfast and talk with everyone. Then both Mom and Dad take places in front of their computers. Dad is a copywriter, he writes articles at home. Then he sends them by e-mail and takes another article for writing. Mom is a translator. She translates articles, sites, goods descriptions and writes articles for foreign editions. Both Mom and Dad are happy to be at home. They have got time for rest and theatre, they play with kids and though they work hard, they have deadlines and some problems, they decide these problems themselves. From time to time kids try to write down a story, a book, and a novel as they see their parents at work and copy them in a way.
Is a new generation of freelancers being formed?

I'm back
It is very difficult to stomach longer work hours for less money. Many of us face the same challenge as we leave the daily fun to others and we spend more time at work while bringing home a smaller income. It is more than frustrating, it is actual backsliding. It is impossible to look out your office window during the day and watch the rest of the world going home knowing that the beautiful day is ending and you are once again stuck at work.This is the reflection of the times and unfortunately there is not much we can do to hold on, but there are things that can be done to make sure that next year you won’t be trading in so much of your time for less money. Start the search now and you are bound to find something that allows you to cut back your work hours while maintaining a reasonable income. It might mean that you have to hunt under every rock for the next year. Sooner or later, things are going to turn around and when they do, you want to be the first one in line for the next big promotion and the next big pay raise. Sometimes we just have to put our future into our own hands. Sometimes we have to work longer for less money and develop another income on the side. The side income is designed to replace the income that you have now so that you can cash in your time for a higher dollar

Work and salary
Job and salary - favorite topic for debate, if not colleagues in smoking, a specialist on Internet forums. And no wonder - in some areas of business profits in recent times have increased, in some countries, by contrast, are falling. And it is necessary to know: what if you are worthy to receive twice as much, or, conversely, must hang on to his job with both hands?
To clarify the situation is not easy. Although the American practice to conceal his salary until the last, we are far, at work simply because the issue is not discussed. In order to suppress discontent in the team, many companies are introducing a taboo to discuss the topic of wages, and even more so the additional payments and bonuses. Otherwise, people will discuss what and how appreciated the leadership and not working. There are recruitment sites periodically make their own reviews, and to communicate with colleagues working on the competitors. Both, to some extent subjective, but in general, gives more or less real.
The situation on the market researched and sociologists, and rating agencies, and personnel services. However, detailed information on wages, they leave for the «internal» or to make its fee-based accounts for customers, but that the leaks to the media, enough to make some impression. At least on the trends in the labor market and wages: rated the most popular professions, and some level of income professionals the entire Internet.
