Legitimate work at home options?

[sbgrace]

Are there still any legitimate work at home jobs?

 

My parents mentioned medical transcription. I can keyboard well and actually worked my way through college in secretarial type jobs that involved transcribing. I'm sure I could learn to do medical transcribing. But I am certain the $$ outlay for training and equipment is expensive and I can't do that to find there aren't actually jobs. The more I look the more I think that's not the way to go.

 

I do have degrees (Bachelors and Masters) in education so I thought about online tutoring though I let my license expire when my boys were born.

 

We're in a financial wreck because of health related expenses. I would love to know if there are legitimate options out there that would allow me to also continue homeschooling.

Try http://www.virtualvocations.com I've had good luck there in the past.

You might look into scoping. I'm going to school to become a court reporter right now, and I'm considering doing some scoping on the side to make a little extra money while I finish. I've heard really good things about scopeschool.com for training.

I'll check out both of those closer. It looks like the scoping is a significant upfront cost so I don't think that's an option right now for me.

 

The virtualvocations does require me to pay to access it looks like. You found work via the site? I'll do some research on it.

If you can work away from home, here's a job similar to transcription (you can see if your local university or college or school district uses something like this). I am a TW transcriber and love it.

I work for Idapted. The hours are a little restrictive, but I LOVE the work.

Yep, I've gotten legitimate work there. You can get access for $6 wk. However, you don't need to join to look at the jobs, only to get access to the contact information. However, when you join and upload your resume, you get a free resume consultation and update worth way more than the fee you pay. I was very impressed with mine.
