i am an MT

People think I work at home and I can do whatever I want all day and that I must be rich because I have my "own" business, but I am really an IC.  They think I can walk their dogs, pick up their kids, drive their kids to camps that my own don't go to... because well... "can't you make your own hours???"  That is the attitude.  I do love working from home though if only i wasn't making less money now than I was 6 years ago.
