[Electronics-talk] Telework/work from home/work virtually/telecommute?

[Snow White Dove]

Hi,

I’m sorry I’m coming late as usual to this, but I’d like to know the same thing.

I don’t want to do medical transcription.  That is what a lot of Blind people do at home from what I’ve seen.

If there is any ideas, please share.
