I don't understand the question

I don't understand the question

I think what he is asking is how much in front of the computer is actually required. Say you if get paid for a 8 hour shift (in theory) would you need to be actually be "working" that whole 8 hours?

Only kind of job where I have seen people not physically have to be somewhere is select government telecommute positions. I know one guy who is out in the field doing real estate all day still getting paid from his telecommute government job.

My son's mother works as an Epic Analyst. She works from home twice a week. A lot of it is stuff that can be done remotely, so it's not necessarily you being in front of a PC for an 8 hour stretch(unless you have a tight deadline). Conference calls are another matter.

Working remotely is the best because it allows you scalability in your work, which increases your pay exponentially.
