Hey, all. I'm back to job hunting, again, and this time I'm feeling picky. I don't want to go back to fast food or hostessing, so I was hoping for some ideas. I'm going to try to go to the unemployment office tomorrow so they can help me out, but any ideas would be appreciated. I would love something I could do at home, like typing documents. I'll be 18 in March, but I'm still in school and need something that will provide some flexibility. Thanks Alicia |

Actually, while in college, aside from working at the school library and the cafeteria as a dish monkey, my roommate and I managed a pretty good income from typing papers. We were totally cutthoat though, undercutting the lowest price out there by 50 cents. At the time, in the early 90's, we charged $1/page, free corrections, and if the paper you paid us for typing was rife with errors when we handed it to you, it was free. I had just bought a $300 word processor and paid for it within 2 weeks. Other things are gonna be what you hear others tell ya: find something you like doing. I'm looking for work right now as well, and since I really do enjoy figuring out taxes and number crunching, I'm going to hit up the local tax prep shops and see if I can't land work. |

Do you have any medical terminology or medical billing experience? You can take a course in that and make good money doing data entry and dictation from home. I used to do that, the only other thing is becoming used to whatever software the office is using. |

Hey, you two, thanks for replying. As for writing papers, I know this sounds selfish, but I don't think I could ever write something and allow someone else to get credit for it, unless it is a favor to someone who really needs the help (like if a computer crashes or something, because I'm quick, so I rock). I don't have any training, but that is certainly a thought. It looks like I am going to have to get a "normal" job, for which I am going to Work One tomorrow. An at-home job would be a nice supplement income, though. Obviously in a rambly mood, Alicia |
