Stay at home dad jobs...or a livelihood?
Consider that employers offering stay at home dad jobs offer only so much loyalty, benefits, flexibility and income, this may be your chance for the extraordinary!
If you had a choice...
Let's say you had these two work-at-home options:
- work a job as an employee of somebody else
- work from home in a way that engages your creativity, resourcefulness, special knowledge and experience
The first choice might offer immediate income, if you could find legitimate at-home work. The second choice is attractive, but seems a little iffy? But, hey, you're already unconventional as a stay at home dad, so who cares if it's a little offbeat? You march to your own drummer, right?! Don't let yourself explore stay at home dad jobs without looking into this novel solution. It offers the flexibility you need as caregiver to your children.
A bit of certainty from these universities...
What do Penn State, the University of Arizona, the Citadel and other institutions of higher learning from Canada, Australia, Netherlands and the UK have in common? They offer a course in a method that lets you choose the second option from above. How much more endorsement could one want? So before you go looking for stay at home dad jobs that offer you little loyalty, benefits or income, do yourself a favor and spend just a little time thinking about option number two.
Why dads are staying home
Dr. Aaron Rochlen of the University of Texas at Austin’s College of Education has done a number of studies of non-traditional work roles for men. In his stay at home dads study publicized in January 2008, three main reasons were given for dads opting to stay home with the kids:

- many couple prefer to have someone home with their children
- primary childcare role is shifting from a mother's role to a parent's role
