Are there any genuine home based jobs?

What GENUINE paid, home based jobs are there for men?

• I'm a 38 yr old male working towards my advanced diploma in counselling while working as a volunteer counsellor. I'm looking for a REAL home based job that is NOT MLM, survey filling or a data entry scam. I'm beginning to think that genuine paid, home based jobs (and I do mean jobs, not opportunities) just do not exist. Can anyone help restore my faith in a way that doesn't point me to a homeworkers website or point out that some survey filling companies really do pay enough to earn an actual living. REAL JOBS only please.

  It's a shame people are missing out on a few great income opportunities due to so many scams out pertaining to work from home jobs/opportunities. Only the smart and open minded people are willing to explore these type ventures by doing extensive researches for legitimacy on the company of concern to validate the legitimacy. I work from home with a great company that I know is legitmate, beleive me if we were not we would not be associated with Walmart, Walgreens, JC Pennys, Sear, Pearl Vision etc., they would have absolute any affiliations with such...and "you can take that one home to the bank". Ofcourse, I too had search around for zillions of opportunities and work from home jobs...but I was determined to spend however much time it took to research to see, was there actually anything at all out there! I have been satisfied with my business choice now for over a year and getting monthly/residual pay checks to boost my satisfaction. I will agree, based on my earlier searches that there just didn't seem to be any legitimate work from home jobs out there. Most of the data entry/paid typist jobs I checked out all "fail through" while researching of the opportunities. Just think about it, why should someone have to pay for a JOB...that is the first red flag. Employers are awaiting to pay us to help grow their businessess, ofcourse with qualifiable candidates. The only venture I know that may require some sort of capital is a Business (work away or from home)...definitely not a J-O-B. sorry to "bust any bubbles". And the more I thought about it...it really made sense to why I was not finding legitmate "work from home JOBS" out there. How many employers will you find willing to pay you at home and trust you to constructively work a job they have given you in the privacy of your home...How do they track all of your work (loyalty and reliability)....How do they track your time efficiency....How do they check up on your customer servicing (without having appointed/accountable supervision over you)...that's why most corporate america jobs have supervisors for the "lay" employees; Plus they even have supervisors for the "supervisors" now what that tells ya...think about it. So what makes you think most employers are ready to risk the success of their business..."it's just something to think about". Would you? Don't get me wrong, I'm so generally stating things here, however there are a slew of "home-shoring" companies I'm hearing more about...and to my knowledge I haven't received the greates comments concerning these companies (bare in my though...that's just from my stance). Incase, you are wondering what that is simply, google search "home-shoring jobs" and do your own research....best of luck to ya. I feel that there might be something to the medical billing/coding from home....it sounds fairly good...however, most likely you will first need the education/training to do this. But do your researches before hand, on the likely-hood of you obtaining and maintaining worthy contracts/assignments, who will be your contractors? what reliable sources do you have? what is the percentage rate of (work from home) survival with this venture...very important!!! (will what works for a few;possibly work for you?) Will this be worth your time and investment if you do not have assurance of "job/or work from home placement? If you have assurance, then I guess you are a bit "ahead of the game"...great. Check out testimonials from others, Check out all the negatives as well as positives and research from both angles....use discretion and wisdom on your final decision....always create "back up systems/or alternatives" with anything you decide to try....just incase. For you guys who are willing to "try anything once" make...just make sure you execute the needed time to do a thourough research and investigation on whatever it is that you try. Ofcourse, a Business opportunity on the other hand is totally different. As with any business, whether you have found a legitimate "network marketing" business or one you have created on your own. Face it, you will have to have a bit of capital set aside or a slight investment to get things going. Depending on your "burning desire" productivity, the proper "niche choice", strong probability rate that your products/service will move...this I definitely think is worth the Try. Let's say you wanted to open a store/office selling your own products/services....you may find yourself either going into your funding to materialize your goals here, or visiting local banks for great loan offers. In my case, I choose not to invest my time/energy in seeking for loans with high interest rates and such...I decided it would be in my best interest to join the growing trend of "net work marketing" allowing me to frugally and feasibly stick to my budget...I'd done my research, but I knew that the company best had "darn well" checked out for legitimacy and having the right or a "hot" niche to move the service/products...which took even more time and dedication along with prayers ofcourse and I thanked God, finally I'd made a legitimately sensible choice. My heart goes out to people who are searching as I was...because I do know the feeling of endless searches "been there; done that"... B.S. "Best of Luck To Everyone"
