Smile E. Face: You do, but they were really flexible about coming down town, my mom is a single parent and some weeks if she was really busy, she didn’t have to go downtown for work. The reason they let you work out of the house so many times a week is because it is a budget cut for the company… to be honest with you though, most places that pay a decent amount of money require you to show up to their work place. My mom had to get a new job through a different company, and she has to commute downtown (from a northern suburb- not skokie) and she is only allowed to work out of the house once a week because they prefer you to show up every day and she had to negotiate it into her contract…
Accenture definitely pays better than teaching in the Jewish Day schools…
By the way, my mom didn’t like commuting to work when she had to, but it was a really good job for her to have as a single parent with two children because it allowed my brother and I to learn (I was in high school and he was in sixth grade when she took the job) how to become better cooks and house cleaners so that we could become more independent, while still having our mom at home when we needed her.
