In the last few months, I have been trying to educate myself about different, legitimate work-from-home options. My kids are old enough now that they don't need my constant supervision and help, and though I still want to be there for them when they do, I feel like I finally have a bit more space in my life and my head for some other things. I'm writing and volunteering, and those things certainly fill serious needs for me, but it seems like it would be a lovely bonus to have a grown-up job that pays actual money and is my own thing.
I'm not one of those people who have just always known what my "passion" is, and I didn't leave an amazing career I loved to stay home with my kids, so I'm kind of starting from square one. Which, for me, means education. Today I had the opportunity to educate myself about work-at-home proofreading, which appeals to me because: 1. I love to read. 2. I notice typos and grammatical mistakes anyway. And 3. If it's work-from-home, I can do it from anywhere. And as we all know well, I prefer "anywhere" to "somewhere."
I found the webinar very informative and interesting. The course isn't being sold as a get-rich-quick scheme, which adds to the validity of it in my mind, and reviews I've read online seem to backup the particular program at proofreadanywhere.com I was looking into. But I'm a sceptic at heart, so I haven't taken any action or made any commitment. It does seem like a pretty neat gig though, so I'm considering it. But, even if I do nothing else with it, I'm glad to add it to my lists of Firsts and things I'm more educated about than I once was. If any of you have any experience with this kind of thing, I'd love your feedback.
