LOL.... a t-shirt and some silk pajama pants.
What made me decide to want work at home?
Hmm, well, I started at the age of 16 working in carpentry during the summer. From there, I worked at Wal-Mart for four years, and then went on to work at a factory where I made pretty decent money (14-15 dollars per hour). I was miserable at the factory. Sure, the bills were getting paid, my wife and I were new homeowners, and between the two of us, we were able to take an economical yearly vacation. However, like I said, I was miserable, and beginning to get very depressed.
Soooo, I decided I wanted to go back to school. My factory job wouldn't offer me a lay-off, so I arranged to work for another employer for one month and then get laid off from there so I could qualify for unemployment.
During my one year of reaping the benefits of unemployment, I enrolled full-time at Motlow State Comm. College (right in Lynn's back yard, if I'm not mistaken) with a major in computer science. I've been doing quite well in school... got inducted into the Phi Thetta Kappa honor society, and made the National Dean's List last semester.
After unemployment went dry, I cut myself back to one class per semester and acquired a job as a veterinarian's assistant. I love the job, but the vet is a very moody person... lol.
Anyway, I realized that I doubt I will ever be truly happy unless I am working for myself. While it is possible that a degree in my field could assist with having my own buisness, I feel like its just preparing me for working for another large corporation. I seriously cannot see myself working in a cubicle!
Another reason for wanting to work from home is, of course, being closer with my family. My wife has already made it to the point I want to be at as an Avon rep. I want to get there too... just not by selling makeup. lol
So, here I am... as of right now, I've just launched a satellite TV promoting site. Still working on getting it optimized. It's apparently a pretty competitive area, so after I get this site up and running good, I'll probably target another area and begin working on another site. I could really use some insight about which area to pursue next!
