No such thing as get rich quick

Tweet

OK - here's my vent. I have been a member here for a little bit and am constantly seeing people that want "quick cash", "easy jobs" and other types of get rich quick types of jobs. What ever happened to working for a living? I really hope that this is not what we are instilling in our young ones. Now granted, I was out of work for quite some time after being laid off and yes, I needed money. I couln't afford to pay the downpayment for a daycare (registration and the weeks of childcare before I received a check) and my husband makes a good salary so government assistance was not an option. I really needed a work at home job to get some income flowing in to help with the bills (especially the groceries and incidentals). After searching and searching, spending countless hours on the internet, I found SOHOjobs.org. Now, I had seen their site before and really didn't want to pay for the information so I wrote the address down and continued to look. I checked out all of the free forums and found the same things over and over. Finally, with the savings account down to almost nothing (mind you I used to make $40,000 per year and almost 1/2 went into savings last year), I decided to invest in the 6 month membership. what I found was people that actually wanted to work for a living and job postings for them - and they were all work at home jobs. So - I started to work the boards, reading all of the information, applying to the jobs that I was qualified for, etc and within 3 weeks I was hired. Less than a week later, I had another offer - wow 2 jobs. With all of that said - if you are looking to work and want to do it from home, I suggest sohojobs.org. Yes there are 100's of places on the internet to search for work from home jobs - but why search when you can actually work???
