Hey guys, Do any of you guys know of any reputable online job opportunities where you work out of your own house? Many of you know my situation and that I'm bedridden at least 50% of the time, so a job outside of my house isn't feasible. Honestly, I don't need the money (I'm not rich by any means. I just live by a philosophy that if I'm getting by comfortably, I'm lucky), and quite enjoy my free time to do whatever, whenever I want. That said, it would give me something to do, and possibly help my mental state and physical health by getting my mind off things. One of my caregivers mentioned that a friend of hers had an online job in which she edited papers of some sort, correcting grammar etc. Not that I'd be good at it, but just one suggestion thrown around. If you guys could help me out it will be greatly appreciated. Heck, maybe someone at Axiom will read this and have something in mind  . Thanks, Cam

Cam, I think I'd fire off an email to Canada Manpower and explain your situation to them, perhaps they can help you out and make some recommendations to you. I "hear" about online jobs, but I don't really know what they entail.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Another one I know of is closed caption transcription. If you can type and take dictation, you could watch TV and then transcribe the dialogue, complete w/ typos.  I see the typos all the time.

Thanks Adrian, I'll definitely give that suggestion a try.
By the way, the name of that organization, suggesting sexual exclusivity, has always been a pet peeve of mine.
Hijacking my own thread!

Great suggestion but I can't type, I use voice dictation. Also, I really don't think I could handle it; my mom did that for probably 30 years at the hospital.

Have you heard of the Mechanical Turk? It's a service that Amazon runs. I've not used it myself but there's a large variety of tasks. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome?variant=worker

If I lived closer, I'd give you my laundry.
