ricky J my man. I just started on this life style after a solid 10 years of office action. Some cubical and some open. I'm not sure it can work for everyone but for myself (software / data analyst) it rules. I can focus intensely, peace and quiet. No co-workers talking you to when you have your giant headphones on.

However some folks thrive in more social situations. Not sure it works for them. For myself it has been great. That is just the work side of it. On top of that I am home with wife and kid an infinite amount more than when both parents worked and kid was in daycare.
