    I've really been thinking about getting a job where I can create things from home and still be able to make enough money to live... So, does anyone know any jobs (perhaps an internet company that needs more employees or something) that will allow me to do so? I'm really handy when it comes to tools (i know how to sauder, weld, build stuff, ect., and am a really fast learner). Thanks!

    Not a clue.. just be careful with the at home jobs that you have to pay for all the stuff.. Like letter stuffing or anything like that... my girlfriend did stuff like that when she had her kid and it was a mess... Just really look at what your getting into before you pay any money

    ~Faerie - Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to read all the small print and everything before committing to anything. I must say that i am a little dissapointed though because i thought more people on this forum would have their own businesses and would consider 'lil 'ol me as an employee... Oh well.

    I know I am going out on a limb by speaking for everyone on this forum, but I don't think the vast majority of us have our own business. I think alot of people that post here are craftsmen who make things at their own leisure and occasionally sell something (if they sell anything at all).

    Why don't you start up your own home business? Be your own boss instead of someone's employee.

    ~HighBlueSkies - Yeah, I agree and eventually would really like to start my own businss, but in the mean time i need some money to pay for my living expences/art supplies while i am still in school and still 'mastering' my crafts so that in i'm guessing a year or two when i can start my own business i can be very ready... And i went out on a limb and was hoping i could find someone on here you needed help so that i wouldn't have to get some boring typical job where i live. And i didn't think a lot of people had their own businesses here, but i was hoping someone who needed more help did. Thanks for all your advice though!
