Does anyone know of any genuine home based typing or online jobs? I can't afford anymore scams where you have to pay for information, only to find out that the job entails scamming other people! I don't need to "get rich quick" but I do need to be able to pay my rent! Please help. I'm desperate!

I know a while back here in Des Moines there was a company that ran all the local subtitles for TV. Basically you type what they say and they were paying over $20 an hour. No exaggeration. I don't remember the company name but I'm sure there is something like it that in your area. Otherwise, I also know Jet Blue was utilizing stay at home moms (not to say that you are) that received calls from customers from their own homes. I don't recall what the pay was and I don't know if they still do it. It was initially just a way to cut costs, which since they're in the airline industry, they probably need to keep doing that as much as possible.

How do you get a job like a home typist?
