Work at home opportunities
I am trying to find a work from home job. My husband is a computer programmer so we are making it on his income but I still would like to contribute. I also don't have any clerical experience. Does anyone know of any good websites that I would be able to find a entry level job. I am also thinking of trying to get into a medical transcription course. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Work at home opportunities
Is there a specific reason why you need a work-at-home job? These opportunities are VERY difficult to come by, unless you 1. are willing to do telemarketing which, speaking from experience, can be an excruciating experience that often only pays if you manage to make some sales, or 2. have a specific, in-demand skill that is so attractive to businesses that they will hire you as a work-from-home consultant or allow you to telecommute (graphic design and web design comes to mind).
I did read a legitimate article recently about how U-Haul is doing a lot of hiring, and how many of the positions they are looking to fill are work-from-home positions that require answering calls from customers. You might want to look into that. My husband works at night, and applied to do this during the day to make some extra money. They do want to know what kind of skills you have though, and those skills include typing and using computer programs. Also, while there is a base hourly rate, making extra money requires you to convince people to upgrade to a larger van, purchase blankets to wrap their furniture in, etc.
You might find this About.com article helpful. It gives you access to some work-from-home positions. Personally though, I wouldn't take any of these jobs unless I had no other choice. There's no opportunity for growth, the money isn't great and often isn't a sure thing, and many of them require you to have very specific skills. Be careful not to fall for work-from-home scams! There are so many out there.
Ahhhhh! the old work at home gig, every moms dream, sure wish i could!!
Ive looked and looked and looked, but they all seem to be scams or really badly payed. You could always try 5er gigs if you have a talent
sadly its the grind for me
