Work from home jobs are tricky. Beware of pyramid schemes, etc. The ones I know about are mostly sales, things like Avon, Amway, Partylite, Mary Kay, Tupperware, Lia Sophia, Discovery Toys, and so forth. They require one to be the "sales" type and host parties, etc but they can be lucrative. Just beware of those types you find online saying "stuff envelopes for us" etc. You may want to try contacting the unemployment office and asking if they know of legitimate companies looking to hire a work from home person. Some jobs will even work on a share basis where you work x number of days at home with x days or day in the office.
