    Typing From Home
    I would like to start by saying hello to everyone! :)

    I am a 23 year old mother of two very young children, ages 2 and 2 months. I am not able to go back to the working community, with having such young children and also the extremely high costs of daycare, around $150-200 a week in my area.

    I am looking for an at home typing job, which will allow me to work and be at home with my kids at the same time. I am qualified: I can type 70 w.p.m. Expert in MS Outlook, Word and Powerpoint, and Intermediate in MS Excel.

    My problem is, all I have found when I search for these types of jobs are basically people saying they can possibly help me and give me information if I pay them. I don't see the sense in paying someone to give me a job, I mean if you are qualified you should be able to earn the job without paying someone.

    My question is, are there any legitimate at home typing jobs? If so, where can I find them? I don't want to and will not pay someone to hire me, that is senseless.

    Thank you for your time :)

    Hello n:

    I've been in business. Lot's of different kinds of business. Certainly since the advent of word processing software, I've never heard of anyone being hired to type from home.

    PS> Go to garage sales and auctions and sell the stuff on eBay. That's a good stay at home business.

    excon is correct. The only way you will type for $$$ at home is if you have a home-based business typing term papers or resumes/cover letters. Any company that asks for typing help from people at home already knows those people--current/former employees or relatives.

    Actually, the best way to type from home is to be a transcriptionist. It is not difficult... you take the classes, learn the terminology & market yourself as an independent contractor, if you want to do it from home.
    There is good money in this.
