Foresight is a beautiful thing :)
Hey guys. I hope all of you are doing well. As always, I'm signing into BP to ask another question I can't find a solid answer to anywhere else on the internet. I respect all of you highly and all of you're opinions are greatly appreciated. Anyhow, according to a "recent survey of business leaders at the Global Leadership Summit in London [researchers predict] that... 25%... [of] white collar jobs.... in America [will be performed] remotely by 2020." In other words, within 6 years most white collar employees will have the ability to roll out of bed in their PJ's and get their jobs done from home. Sounds exciting and, in my opinion, it might be more productive working outside the box.
Although I'm not sure how true this is, I'm curious as to how someone with no experience can get started in this workforce. I've heard of people in IT working remotely and customer service agents; but how can someone with a background in manufacturing and an associates in admin get started? I know this question is a bit loaded but any opinions are welcome and appreciated :) Thanks
