earning money

I'm afraid I had no real rest after graduating (and not since then...).I'm now doing my PhD and I'm 29 (suppose to finish by 32). To tell the truth, a year break between "stages" is a must. About online job - if you can live at your parents' home and work 4-5 hours per day, you can create a nice income, so eventually, when the year ends, you will not need to work :) What are you doing online? What kind of biz are you looking for?

Your Dad's wishes are rather "refreshing", but I understand your desire to get a job and start making some money. Fortunately, I had a job when I graduated and kept it for a year or so, until I found something else. I taught at the university as a visiting instructor while I got my master's as well as after receiving my degree. Best of luck finding a job...and congratulations on graduating.

I think it is not necessary for you to stay at home for a year just to rest. Unless if you may also think that you need it. However, in my opinion it would be best to look for a job the soonest possible time. At this point finding a job is like a rat race. You have to act quick and you have to be equipped. If you decide to stay at home make sure that you make it worthwhile and not just resting totally without anything to do. Usually employers would like to hire someone who is a fresh graduate rather than somebody who stayed at home for 1 year without experience. They might think that kind of attitude is not an advantage for their firm. Online jobs usually are not credited as regular jobs and could have a minimal credit to your work experiences.

Hello aauecon! I have some links on my blog which are in my profile here on myLot. They are for online writing jobs, transcription jobs and other work at home jobs. Don't fret because you can find a job online and have something to say to your potential employers. At least you won't spend your "vacation" just bumming around. I suggest you get yourself a paypal account first so you'll have something to put on your application as to where you would want your payments to go. I can see that you are a good writer from the way you can freely express yourself here on your posts. I'm sure you can do the things I am doing. Just a teaser -- a got a 5-page writing job last week which I did in 5 hours and paid me $100 or a whopping $20 per page... I'm pretty sure we'll be bumping into each other a lot in the next few days... Just a personal thought -- You are really very fortunate for having a good dad who wants you to stay at home and take a rest first -- maybe he thinks you need a sort of transition period or reflection time. Good luck and best regards...

Personally, I see no need to rest, unless you are sick. Employers would want to know why u had no job for a year. If you needed a rest after university how would you cope with a job, without needing a rest every year? I think you should keep looking for a job, but set up a blog, set up a website and start earning some money online. There's lots of advice available for free. I am at opposite end of working life, also unemployed and I am following my own advice here, looking for jobs and with blogs and websites

Become a drop ship seller and sell your stuff on http://wwwirillabay.com. Small fee for lifetime membership to a drop ship company and then you sell their discounted items for profit. eBay is way too saturated with items for sale and they charge too much money. Try RillaBay, its free to sell auction items. They only sacrifice is a few moments of your time to place an item for sale. You can do a couple a day or as many as you want at one time.

aauecon06 cannot you get an intern job in the subject you majored in as you are fresh out of college? young like you are, do not take a y ear of rest, right now you need to search for real job off net, as net jobs do not pay that much, so go try to find jobs that your major has suited you for.younger people will get the jobs first while a lot of more experienced people will come second so if you really want to make money do not use the net to do it at all. get some real life experience working for a real person in a real job.

Good thought, both jobs thatis earning online and offline are difficult tasks. Why don't you try freelancing jobs, i think those would be better for now. Getting offline job is somewhat ver competitive and i think as a fresher there is more likely for you to get a very good job. Don't hesitate to join in smaller jobs.....join immediatel the first job which comes to you. Start your career first then you can can choose right tract later after getting little experience. All the best and happy mylotting :-)

Honestly, my first reaction is that you are so lucky. I am currently unemployed, my benefits run out next week and I don't know how we are going to buy food, pay rent, pay bills, etc. I would be pretty happy to be living at home with my Dad paying the rent right now! Having said that, if you want to get a job now, I can understand that too - you want to have your life move on, earn some money, get some experience etc. And as someone said, you may have to explain to employers later on why you didn't work for a year. So, if you DO take a year off, maybe it would be a good idea to find some sort of part time or volunteer work, or further training, so you can say 'I did this' when it comes to finding a job next year - and trying out some things like that might lead you to a job you like too. A good compromise with your Dad may be to find a part time job, so you are working a small amount, earning a little for yourself and still taking it a little easy as he would prefer. Good luck!

wow lucky you is your father going to give you money for a year so you can rest? but if you our planning on making money on line it is very slow going and it takes along time to make a good amount you make pennies not dollars on line. but if anyone know of a good web site to make buck instead of pennies please let me know
