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

[Darla Rogers]

Der Jenny,

	Even the medical transcribing jobs are going away; a friend checked
on one--for a  large company--don't  remember which one it was, but when
they interviewed him, they wanted money.
	Do not ever take a work-at-home job that requires you to pay
anything, not including jobs like Avon or Amway where you may have to
purchase a kit or something.

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.

Jenny
