The REAL, I REPT, REAL TRUTH ABOUT ONLINE JOBS...?

We Answered:

My wife works from home. After several years with her company they gave her the option of working from home. Most of her work is done over the internet and through email. That's how people get work from home jobs. It requires a traditional job and skills that allow you to use your talent from home. For instance if you are a lawyer, CPA, accountant, engineer or commercial artist you could probably find a job working from home. Usually, though, a company will want you to start at the office to determine if you're the type of person that can work from home.

Work at home jobs and "online" jobs advertised on the internet are usually scams. It's too easy too steal from people that want to make easy money. Nobody is trying to discourage people on this forum they are just giving you the truth. For every legit job advertised online there's probably 100,000 or more being advertised that are scams. It has become impossible to negotiate. I'm not saying these jobs don't exist... they are just in short supply and they are incredibly difficult to find.

If you go down this path you'll be ripped off several times and you may even have your identity stolen and viruses implanted on your computer. How many times can you afford to be ripped off? How much time can you afford to waste trying to ferret out the legit job from all the fake ones? Any real jobs that are offered are going to be gobbled up pretty quick so you'd have to be pretty darn lucky. Your odds are probably better at a casino.
