I am a consultant for motives, it is part of Market America. I think it is better than Avon because we carry alot more different items that everybody would want from wellness, nutrition, anti aging,cosmetics, websites etc.. It is a great opportunity. If you need more info, please feel free to contact me th3k121@yahoo.com

I have a legal and very easy way to make the extra money that you need by March.  I know you say you aren't good at sales but neither am I and I have had a lot of success with Mary Kay.  The product has been around for a long time and is the #1 brand of skin care and color cosmetics so it basically sells itself.  The best part is that you make 1/2 of every sale, there are no territories and no quotas.  Just a thought...

I don't know if this will help or not but I hope it does.  About 36 or 37 years ago my aunt graduated from college with a degree in teaching.  At that time so did about 50,000 other students in the state she lived in and hundreds of thousands of others accross the country.  Consequently, the job market for teachers went from being wide open to nonexistent and she and many others like her couldn't find jobs.  So she took a job at a local factory and hoped for the best.  One Sunday after church she was reading the paper and saw an ad for teachers needed in Australia and a number to contact if you were interested.  So she discussed it over with her father (my grandfather) and concluded she had nothing to loose so she called the number.    The agreement was this.  She moves to Australia for 730 days (two years) and teaches.  In exchange they paid her an excellent wage TAX FREE, and she got ALL medical, dental, and optical that she needed for FREE while there.  Here was the catch. If she stayed more than 730 days for any reason she had to pay back all the medical, dental and optical bills and the back taxes.  It was kind of a long process but she got the job and moved to Australia.  It was unconditionally one of the best experiences of her life and the bigining of many more teaching abroad.  She loved Australia so much that she stayed until the absolute last moment of day 730.\n\nThis web site might help http://www.immi.gov.au it it the Australian Government web site for immigration and multi cultural affairs.

I've been a long-term sub on and off, and I'll tell you, it beats the heck out of day-to-day subbing in terms of pay (which varies so widely, it's hard to say) and respect from the kids (you're permanent, so they can't mess with you as much).  It's one of the BEST ways to prepare for your "real" assignment since you will NEVER get as much freedom as you get as a long-term substitute.  \n\nYou will spend the first few weeks undoing whatever the previous teacher did.  This is not because (usually) the previous teacher is "bad," but because no two people teach alike.  You will eventually get into your own routine, but the hardest part is releasing them back to their own teacher (ideally reminding them how they used to do things).  You are free to try anything you want (pretty much) so long as the kids are learning and your principal doesn't see the kids in his or her office very often (or get complaints).\n\nSome districts love to pick up long-term subs for permanent, while others almost never tap their sub pool (why should they as they NEED them to sub?).  This is something you will have to talk to the teachers about, who generally don't feel threatened by you and want to help you.  Ask your principal (if he or she is approachable) for advice on handling kids or curriculum (not all the time, but often enough that he or she learns that you are consciencious), be very, very nice to all clerical workers, and be friendly to the other teachers (ask them for advice, too, then follow up by telling them how well it worked).  This will get you good references, but remember, the first cut is often made in the district office, so it may not get you hired.  \n\nGood luck.  I highly recommend long-term subbing (and day-to-day subbing) since it makes you MORE ready to teach (the kids will often try stuff on you that they will not try on a "real" teacher) and also gives you the freedom to experiment.  No one can guarantee a "real" job, but if nothing else, get yourself great references and start networking.  If you can't get in at this district, you might just pave your way to another district.

Hello...no, sorry I cannot help you but heyyyy, why not look at working for yourself?  With your experience as a Sales Manager, I would love to discuss with you what I do if your options are open to working for yourself.  My email is rpelley5@yahoo.com.  Thank you.

Assuming that  you want to buy at wholesale, you need to attend trade shows rather than consumer shows. CHA is the biggest and you'll have to apply to join but if you're serious about your business, it's worth it. There is also Memory Trends which is smaller but concentrates on papercrafts (scrapping and stamping), not all crafts like CHA does, And you can find distributors as well if you don't want to open your own accounts directly with the manufacturers. Your pricing will be higher but you'll also tend to have smaller ordering minimums. It depends on what works best for you. I don't know if I'm going to MT this year but if you do end up going, let me know and maybe we can meet up.

I am 36 and this is my eighth year teaching.  The first 1-3 years are tricky because you have to figure out how to NOT spend 2-3 hours after the fact grading papers.  It took me about 2 years to figure out what works for me and what doesn't.  I spend a lot of time around positive people who love their jobs and who are willing to share and receive new ideas.  I keep a binder of ideas, good and terrible, to help me keep from making mistakes over and over.  As far as the pay goes...yeah, I'm underpaid.  But you know what?  I work 180 days a year from 7:30-3:30.  I am out of school when my child is out of school.  I do something everyone of those 180 days a year that really matters.  Talk to people who love their jobs and see if they say things that sound appealing to you.  Truth is...nobody ever decided to be a teacher because the pay is awesome or because it is easy as pie.  Folks who love teaching either feel called to do it, love kids, enjoy the opportunity to do something different in the summer (I got my real estate license and sell at my will), etc.  If you have a deep feeling that it isn't the right thing for you, move on.  There are children who deserve a teacher who wants to be there and who feel good about their work.

hard work and a great agent. You should probably even go to classes for it first to have an edge but I've heard it's a very hard business to get into if you don't sound unique.

Hello!\nWe were Amway distributors about 10 years ago and fell in love with some of the products. We later quit but missed the products.\n\nWe signed up again with Quixtar a few months ago so we could get the products a little cheaper.\n\nI believe that MLMs are the way to go to create an extra income or even great wealth and Quixtar is one of the grand-daddies of MLM. However, the retail mark-up is so low on the most popular products that you have to be a super sales person to make any money through retail. And you need good retail to finance the training system.\n\nOur down-fall the first time was the cost of the traning system. But let me say this... for most people (98%) the training is a must because a good MLM is more about persenal growth when a person first starts.\n\nMost people don't have any knowledge about business or dealing with people. Most take rejection as a personal blow and it's really not. Rejection is a killer for most distributors.\n\nI think Quixtar is an excellent business if you have the energy, the high self esteem, and the money to get it going. As far as it being a scam, let's be realistic. Quixtar is what now, about 50 years old and is connected to some of the worlds largest companies and has distributors world-wide. If it was a scam it would have been shot down a long time ago.\n\nAnd as far as a new person never making as much as the people at the top, the people at the top also started at the bottom.\nI know people that have worked for WalMart for years and they will NEVER make as much as Sam Walton did.\n\nAs I said, MLM is the way to go. But we found a company with excellent products with a good retail mark-up, an excellent MLM payplan and with an internet connection the training is free. We started in March and it's doing very well.\n\nWe still get our SA8 and some other products through our Quixtar up-line but we're making money with our other MLM.\n\nIf you like Quixtar go for it. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering WHAT IF.\n\nYou sound like the kind of person we're looking for. If you're still looking for something we would love to talk with you.\n\nWhat ever you decide... Don't let anybody steal your dream!

Just let them know when you go in for the interview and it shouldn't be a problem.I would say you ll have to train and maybe go to rural academy for 2 weeks for training I had to but it was fun and you do learn alot.It is good pay but for a sub it is a terrible job.No benefits and no life cause you cannot plan nothing because you have to be kinda like on call its awfull I have done it for 4 yrs now and I hate it the only reason I stay is the money and I'm planning on getting out here soon.Subs are in a very high demand because it offers NOTHING..

Is it that you didn't like taking care of people or you didn't like who you worked with or for? I am in Human Services and work collaboratively with a lot of nurses who have frequently changed jobs over the years, but have found a niche that they particularly like better than others. Some like the emergency/ hospital type thing, some the mental health/hospital thing, others like in home nursing, some like elder care/ nursing homes, and others like to work with children in homes or in a school, ect. Nursing is such a diverse field I'd think you could find something to do with your knowledge/education that you would enjoy. I too am 31 and have felt this same way in the past. I now have a job doing the same thing I was doing before, but for a new company and it has made all the difference. I realized I did like what I was doing for a living but I didn't like it at 3 agencies before I came to this one. And well, maybe it is time to move on to some thing new. I can't really answer this for you, but if you were a good nurse (which I'm sure you were), I'd hope you'd stick with it because there aren't enough good ones out there.

If you want to do something like this, your best bet is a MLM (multi-level marketing) company that has been in business for many years and is known for paying it's people, etc. You of course have to work hard at it, but if you do, the payoffs can be great. I am doing Arbonne myself because several of my friends are doing very well with it. But Mary Kay, Avon, Creative Memories, Stampin' Up, Tupperware, etc. are all also respectable companies that work in the same way. If you are serious about the work from home stuff, look at these opportunities. If you have any questions feel free to email me at my screenname. Good luck!

I'm currently working with Arbonne. I started just a few months ago. I'd be happy to send you information on the company if you'd like. Feel free to email me with any questions.\nI signed up with the company to get the 35% discount..the sign up fee is only $29. I already have enough people who buy from me that I get my monthly products for free.\nOne of the girls that I work under brings in over $1,000 a month.\n\nWhatever you chose to do, I wish you the best of luck!

Why not become a subtitute teacher? It would only be an on call job and would allow you to study at the same time? How about a teachers' aid. Same benefits as a sub.

Don't let any negative remarks dissuade you from being a teacher.(Scotty the comic? like a comic is a real career!) I'm starting classes this summer for early child education. People keep telling me that teachers don't make that much. Well, there are a lot of careers out there where you don't make that much. I will be making more being a teacher than I am as a medical receptionist. Sure you might have to put up with kids misbehaving. I would rather do that, than put up with rude adults who should know better.\nBut to get back on track and answer your question :) Look up local colleges. Many colleges offer this degree, whether its a community college or state college. Good Luck!

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information. Cheers.\nCourtney
