I have heard of home employment throught advertising and other sources but I don't know anyone who actually makes a living at it. Even people who have their own business and work from their home must leave it in order to conduct business.

I once purchased software to do medical billing from home; however, the start up was just too much for me. I would have to find my own clients and this also meant leaving the house to cold call doctor's offices. Too much up front time would have to be expended in order to get a business of this nature off the gound.

I believe that I am not a lazy person. I would be happy to have my work monitored as I really need a second income to make ends meet and am willing to to whatever it takes to work from home.

So far, I've indulged my curiousity with my creativity knitting, crocheting, drawing hoping I could think of a way to incorporate my hobby into "Legitimate home employment" opportunity to no avail. I can't afford to create a web page even though I know of some software that you can build your own web page and get the domain name for a fee. I'm not ready yet.

Also, with the so called "home employment" scams being offered, you would have to file paperwork to set up your business. So this is really not an option for me or most people looking for an additional income from a job that could be done from home.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could come up with an idea like the "Pet Rock"? Now there is someone who took their intellectual property to the bank. Sensational ideas like this one, however, also require some type of capital to get the idea off the gound.

Lastly, what makes me laugh is this if 'Legitimate home employment' was really out there all of us and I do mean all of us would be using it. Sorry Ginger there isn't really a Santa Clause. I always hoped that it was just me, that I didn't know how to look for "Legitimate home employment" that it was something I lacked that prevented me from finding it. Where was I searching that was incorrect. I hope one day I find out.
