Working at home today is an ever growing trend. I read somewhere that by 2010 some 25 million Americans will be working at home in some form. Of course, the Internet has a lot to do with this. Unfortunately, scammers realize people would love to do this and there are a lot of scams on the Net(I have personal experience). I am trying a couple things, but have nothing solid to recommend for a decent wage that doesn't require oodles of training. If you work at home, please share it with us.

Here, here! You definitely work from home! There's a lot of work involved in being a stay at home mom. It's one of the few jobs where you can't call in sick, or get vacation or get holidays off.
You ever try going in late? Just doesn't work out that way. It's a 24/7 position.
Hats off to you!

hey jek. well, i am curious when you say decent wage. Are you looking for something that pays hourly?
Also, their are not as many scams over the internet as many people assume. It is a term that is thrown around loosely. Many individuals believe that if they sign up for something they are going to be making money quick and a lot times unrealistic #'s.
I do agree that their are scams out there, but I don't discount any until I have researched it and done background checks.
With this being said, I work for a company called DirectMatches. You can check out my profile. www.directmatches.com/kiwidipa I have other biz's but DirectMatches is the one I focus on.
If you would like to see a short presentation on it add me as a friend and I will gladly send you the link 2 your mylotmail.
TTYS BTW my name is Michael

if you are willing to take the time and the initial investment, I have found the best way is to get trained as a medical transcriptionist. You can get financial aid for the training, and you can work at home. Some people make very good livings doing that.
