The "Work At Home" Opportunities... ?   Author:  49101  Category:(Discussion) Created:(7/25/2008 6:25:00 AM) This post has been Viewed (179 times) Good morning USM. :) I have a tale to tell and question to ask. My current employer STINKS! So I have opted to go BACK to school, YET AGAIN, and continue my educational persuit. Now, I did indeed graduate back in September with my Paralegal certification. And I work for a small thimblefull of attorneys now, doing random research and writing. This is a freelance job that keeps me busy enough to have a little spending money (But not too much because I do have an overhead consisting of internet bills, printer, fedex costs, sometimes gasoline etc...). It is great experience for me, and I have learned a LOT! So anyway, we recieved a global email from this company and our vice president saying that there will be no raises this year, except for perhaps a select few. I've been working for this place for two years now, with no raise but rather a pay cut when my shift changed. Not that I have been a bad employee, my review was great last August - But the company couldn't afford to give me a raise. Then when they eiminated our night shift, I lost my shift differential. A month or so ago, they forced me into a promotional position because they had no one else who could to that type of work, and said they couldn't afford a pay increase. I have clung to this job because although I did take a pay cut and all, it was still "Ok" money. But with gas prices the way that they are... It just isn't cutting it anymore. I am slowly slipping back, and I am panicked! So, I decided if I ever actually want to have any iota of job security again -*giggles* as if that exists anymore- I need to complete my education and have a leg up on the competition. So I am going back for my Bachelors. I still need to work though. Student loans can get me only so far. I have two counties with my name on their substitute teaching lists, but even that is no garuntee. (Besides - school doesn't start for another 5 weeks and work will be slow at first.) So I am always looking at the jobs availabe, and they ALWAYS have those GREAT WORK FROM HOME OPPORTUNITIES!!! I am a skeptic. Does anyone have any idea if there are any LEGITIMATE ones around???
