When I left uni I applied for a job which would’ve entailed working solely from home. My dear auntie tried to persuade me not to go for it: “You’re too young to be spending the whole week on your own in the house. You need human contact, to get out there and see the world!”. I nodded my head diligently but I had set my heart on applying for the position. I didn’t get the job, and was so disappointed about it, but looking back I can see that my auntie’s words were wise, and I doubt that the twenty-year-old-me would have flourished working from home in a full time job.
