Question Hi,
I have a Bsc in General Science and a BA in Psychology. Due to a disability, I am looking for ways to work from home, could you give me any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Answer Hi Bill,
The first step is to learn about working at home and determine what would be good fit. Are you wanting a job? Then what skills do you have? Do you want to start a business? Again, what skills and interests do you have?
Many people jump into working at home by looking for something to sign up to. But the first step is to learn about what's involved in working at home. What does it take to succeed? What companies use home workers and why? What does it take to start a business? And once you understand what a successful home based career looks like, start inventorying your skills and experiences and interests to find or create work that suits you.
Work At Home Success http://www.workathomesuccess.com has lots of good information to get you started. I like Finding Your Perfect Work a book by Paul and Sarah Edwards as well.
