I am pursuing this career also.  My main advice if you're just starting is to make sure the school you choose is accredited.  Many unaccredited programs will offer you online courses and take your money, but a degree from them isn't really worth anything.

Go for it. Don't worry about what you have to expect. You'll like the work. Especially when you decide you're good enough to go out on your own. That's when the big bucks come rolling in. Jobs are jobs. You might like it for a while because it's new. Then you work because you need the money. You'll like it because you're good at it. \nI do something similar to plumbing and make house calls. The not being stuck in an office is nice. I for one can't do that. I like the freedom to pick and choose when and where I work. You can come and go as you please. If you need a break you can just drive off to get parts. I don't do that often but the option is there. It's a good profession. All I say is do a good job. You'd be surprised how many don't.\n.

(I'm a full time college student with a full time and a part time job.) \nI am at work and bored out of my mind...I need music...Oooh a phone call...One moment...Ok I'm back. This room is dirty...It needs to be cleaned. Oh, I have to minimize...someone is coming. Ok. Well maybe I'll go try to get some work done. Right. This is the easiest minimum wage paying, part time (job number 2) job I have ever had! Yay for easy money!

Check with your high school's guidance counselor's office. when I was in school, our school received phone calls from local businesses looking for cashiers, inventory clerks, office people, and other employees. Those employers were sensitive to the available hours that the students could work. The money wasn't great but the experience in business sure was. You have NOTHING to lose by asking about it. If that doesn't work out, look into your own business. Why not make 100% profits after taxes and expenses???

Usually a state job.  I'm sure they would be on call for some shifts it depends on the office.  You're not gonna get rich off of it, kinda like a police officer.  Prob. better off in pre-law or forensics.  In general not gonna get paid what you should unless you go to law school & open your own practice.

I dated a woman that was a Mystery Shopper. It is defintely NOT a lucritive proposal. Don't quit your day job. It was good for some free dinners (reimbursed) from time to time, occaisionally at some Very High-End places. The "extra" pay barely worked out to be $5 - $15 for a whole night's work.\n\nYou can make more than that assembling Widgets at home part-time.

This is a nice thing to do but only consider it for part time and not as your main source of income ...    After all this too has the same pyrimidical structure so this may come to saturation after some time..  Also do it if u think that u have  a good network of friends to see a quick success....\n        Please take advise of some elders  also ........

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going. This is something that you can do - and more importantly - take with you as you move around.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

Some of the companies that advertise this as a paying job are exploiters or scammers. Becareful if they ask for money upfront to send you the package info to get this type of work. Some are just low paying in that it's per envelop and it works out to less than minimum wage.

What do we get in return for giving our jobs away?  A lot of people think that we are outsourcing only blue collar/labor oriented jobs say like manufacturing. We are also outsourcing engineering and other technical work to countries like India via the internet. There are a lot of high paying manufacturing jobs. I get my hands dirty every day at work and I am not ashamed because I will make nearly 50 grand this year. That's on 50 hours per week which is a lot better than some of the white collar workers I know. There is a rediculous misconception when I walk into a store after work with my dirty navy blue uniform on with my name on it that I must be poor or something but the fact is I probably make more money than just about anyone else there.  Sorry going on a rant here. The fact is that when you take raw materials and produce usable products from those materials wealth is created. If you can produce a product and take it all the way to the end consumer you can make a lot more profit. But that requires engineering, research and development, market analysis, advertising, packaging, warehousing, wholesaling, distributing, and final sales. At each of those points wealth is redistributed. It all starts with mining and manufacturing. Everyone else makes some money along the way. A lot of very high paying high tech machining/die making jobs have gone to Taiwan. They are developing skills there that not many here in the U.S. can see the benefit. It makes me sick every time a have to explain what a machinist does. A machinist makes anything from the pistons in your engine to the wheels on your car to the mold that was used to form the shape of anything made from plastic. For example your keyboard, monitor casing, and mouse were all formed from plastic in a mold made by a moldmaker which is a type of machinist. These are the types of jobs we are losing.  Manufacturing drives innovation and if we stop doing this kind of work then our engineering capabilities will suffer due to lack of use. The main reason our country has become so wealthy is because of the huge supply of natural resources that have been mined and then manufactured into usable products. At every point in our growth we have come against obstacles to produce enough to supply a growing population. Due to these obstacles innovation was required. If we allow other countries to do our dirty work for us we will also be allowing other countries to be innovative for us. And we will eventually become weak minded and unable to solve our own problems. To answer the question, "Why is outsourcing of US jobs bad for the US?" It is bad because it takes away from the SOURCE of our wealth and our strength. There are only four economic sectors that generate material wealth: agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction. Other sectors, such as services and trade, redistribute this wealth, and are built on the products created by the wealth generators. Check out the link I hope your paper goes well.

Have a look in your local newspapers in the job section.  This sometimes works, if not have a look in the shop windows if they are looking for part-time staff.\n\nIt doesn't hurt to ask.  They can only say "No, we're not looking at the moment".

I would work part-time.  If you can do without the money, try to work part-time instead of full time until the kids are at least in full-time school.  Most people work because they need the money.  If you have a choice then follow your heart.  You should realize that if you depend on someone else (your husband or wife) to support you, if they leave you your earning ability will be less than if you had kept working.  It's a price you pay.

I love my job.  I teach personal/independent living skills to people with develomental disabilities.  \n\nI generally don't work full-time but there are plenty of hours out there for this kind of work.\n\nThe times I do work full-time I usually spend my days reading stories, doing crafts and playing games.
