Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Lately I've been trying to find a job where I can work at home and still make enough money to support myself. The first thing I tried didn't work out, so I was wondeirng if any of you work from home, what you do, and if you could give advice on how to obtain such a job?

Guest EQ Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Probably the easiest way to get a job where you could work from home would be to start your own company. I know working from home is becoming a little more common these days, but I think most companies would prefer that their employees came to the office every day. If I were running a company, I think I would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2003 Hmm... interesting. Thanks for the replies. The ad I replied to in the paper was a scam, but I only lost $25 for "shipping costs and materials" so it's not a big deal. I was looking for legitimate employment, but believe me, I have considered selling drugs. Well, not drugs, just one. Marijuana. I have some great seeds I got from Canada when I was up there, and I know a lot of people who want weed. The stuff these seeds are from is better than anything here. Usually, people charge $50 an eighth for the best bud around here, so if I grew this stuff which is far superior and sold it for slightly less, I could make a killing. I may just do that... The only problem is that this is a small town (Springfield, despite being the capital, only contains 111,000 people) so that may limit my opportunities. Hell, if anyone has any tips, feel free to aid me in my life of crime. From honor student to drug dealer... ha, my teachers would be so proud. Anyway, if anyone has any recommendations for legitimate work at home jobs, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2003 Why exactly do you want to work from home? I mean other than the fact you don't have to shower, dress, or leave the house. Is there any other reason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2003 Why exactly do you want to work from home? I mean other than the fact you don't have to shower, dress, or leave the house. Is there any other reason? I have no car, I'm not a morning person, and pretty much everything you listed. I can't properly motivate myself before noon. The fact that I'm an insomniac doesn't help. So while I would have problems getting up, getting ready, and getting to work (which takes longer with no car, obviously), it wouldn't be that big of a deal if I didn't have to do much more than roll out of bed.

Guest EQ Report post Posted October 24, 2003 Personally, if I haven't showered and done the whole morning routine, I can't function for the rest of the day. So I guess I wouldn't be able to work from home because I know I'd get lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2003 Back during the internet boom a few years ago, these jobs were easier to find because companies were growing so rapidly they didn't have space to put people. Nowadays, its hard enough to find any job, let alone one you can telecommute to. Most companies I know allow you to work from home on occasion, but require you in the office most of the time.
