Do THAT many people have work @ home jobs or are they just trying to scam me?


Question:
I always hear how people have these home-based businesses. I need a job really fast & can't get one. Every application I fill out, I get turned down. I have a college degree & can't find any job at all.

Answer:
They're all scams. Think about it: if someone truely found a way to make all this money by using their computer at home, do you think they'd be sharing it with you? Hell no.

ANY 'opportunity' that makes you pay a fee is a scam. Jobs are supposed to pay YOU, not the other way around.
I found a few sites that dont charge any fees. You wont get rich quick or anything, but who couldn't use an extra few hundred a mo? http://luckieladie08.googlepages.com/hom...
Many are scams, the rest are most likely some form of multi-level marketing. If you enjoy recruiting family, then friends, then strangers to be salespeople or next level recruiters, some people do very well. You have to look at yourself long and hard-I have been involved with a few MLMs and its not for me.

"Any job at all'? Even a temp agency won't hire you with a degree? Sometimes temp positions turn into job offers, or you could possibly tutor as school starts up? I can't imagine a locale with absolutely zero demand for new employees-just maybe not at great wages/benefits. A home-based business won't likely net much more than minimum wage for a long time if ever.

Once working, its a better networking environment than unemployed.
Yes, there are a lot of people that work at home. However, I don't think it is the solution to your problem.these jobs are usually given to people with proven track records.

Unless your talking about starting your own home based business.
If you plan on doing this type of work I urge you to investigate it thoroughly before you get into it. Many are scams. For example, if they require money up front it is a scam.
