I am in the process of moving to Montana and I was wondering if anyone in the mountain areas of Colorado Telecommute or work from a Virtual Office....

I have an Engineering Degree with some experience (I am in my mid-twenties, so I am still young). I also have some technical related sales experience.

I am aware that many people "telecommute" and I was wondering what companies allow this...

Any other advice, recommendations, etc would be appreciated!!

ADP is a company that is shifting a lot of its technical workforce into remote positions

I currently live in Harrisburg, PA and telecommute for an insurance company 2 hours away in Pittsburgh. I am an RN case manager and call HMO members for chronic disease management.

My dream is to bust out of the house and move to an alpine climate for snowboarding adventures. I plan on working another 10 years until retirement and it would be nice if my current company would keep me if I moved 1500 miles.

My wife works for IBM and practically never goes into the office. In fact, in 5 years, she's been in the office twice. Once when we lived in California, the office was 12 miles away and it was just to hang out with a friend who she used to work with for 15 years at another company that joined IBM. Just having lunch. The second time, we'd been here in CO about a year, a co worker in COS asked if she wanted to go to the office to meet and have lunch since they spent so much time on the phone together.

Don't have to be a programmer to work at IBM. Wife is more or less an account manager. Title is up for grabs really, they're changing a lot of things around there. But anyway, you get the idea. IBM would be a place to possibly look at.

I have wondered about tele-work- if you or I can do it, can't someone somewhere much cheaper do it, too, or is that fad fading?
A friend of mine works for the archiving at the Library of Congress. He was commuting by train a total of four hours round-trip every day. Now he works from home twice a week. I wondered if his job could be outsourced, but note that he did have a lot of face-time when first hired a few years ago.
IBM just bought a very large building (former Digital, former H-P) in my town. Everyone is looking forward to an influx of people for local business (lunch, etc.) and business taxes in this small town where property taxes are sinking everyone.

Default Companies that allow Telecommuting

I am a stay at home mom of four young kids, I want to continue to stay at home, but financially our family needs some extra income. The dilemma is that I don't want someone else raising my children, so I wanted to know if anyone can tell me of any legitimate companies that allow telecommuting, I would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks
