So I've recently started looking for jobs. It's fucking miserable. Every job listed is either a manager at a fast food place, some bs retail job, or insurance sales, which honestly i think i'd rather take one in the head. Are there any decent paying jobs that allow you to work from home? Or really just any job ideas at all? I have a BS in Bus. Mgt. from Clemson. Throw me a bone, OT.

prolly wont get clemson rich working from home

You pretty much have to know someone to get a decent job nowadays. I buy and sell some stuff on ebay just for some play money. If you want a decent job where you can work from home, try becoming a Real Estate agent

Knights of Columbus is pretty clutch for insurance. Never ending list of prospects.

+1 on real estate agent. That's what I would do if I didn't care about ever seeing another college football game.

what's it like getting licensed if you have a degree? and i'm assuming you mean i'd work a lot of weekends?

yeah thats what ive heard. im really not into just calling people and trying to sell them insurance, i just know how much i hate getting those phone calls

I am about to get an offer for a job that is work from home but the pay is really low. I have been our of college for almost 15 years and this would actually be lower than my first job out of college, but I am trying to switch fields. This is a IT testing position that has potential to move into management within a year or two. That is something you need to look at is the possibilities to move up in a company. You might not start out doing what you want, but you need to get into a company then worry about moving around if there are opportunities.

Lucky for me my manager from 2 years ago actually called and asked me to interview for this spot so I didn't have to look fight for a job right now.

I get to work from home in my job, on occasion. But those days, I hardly get anything done. I just move the mouse whenever the screensaver comes on, to keep an eye on emails...while I'm playing poker or PS3.

I've just always had a really bad connotation of that business, but maybe it's not so bad. Is that what you do?

Northwestern Mutual's business model is hiring anyone that can pass the insurance/securities tests and then forcing them to call anyone/everyone they know to come in for meetings. When they come in for meetings they try and sell them insurance and then force 10 referrals out of them. Then you are to bug the shit out of the 10 referrals from each family member/friend you bugged initially to try and get them to come in and sit down. Then you force the referrals to give you 10 referrals of their own and rinse and repeat.

If you are comfortable with that you can make some decent money, but nothing is instant and you definitely feel uncomfortable at times as your are dependent on friends/family initially.

I used to get calls weekly from them because a few friends went to meetings and referred me to them. I was like dude I have my securities and insurance licenses, if I wanted to get more insurance I would buy from myself and get the commission for myself. They didn't have an objection handler for that one but they still called back the next month when they forgot.

working from home is the greatest. I would suggest looking at making a small investment and starting your own business.

sfthis. this is just not at all what i want to be doing. feeling like a pawn in a massive company just messes with my head, id really rather not be a sheeple. i'm considering cancelling the interview bc i doubt id even accept an offer, but the interview experience could be good.

those of you who do work from home, what do you do? its really not THAT important to me, its just i havent had a job in years and something similar to the poker lifestyle would be ideal (yeah, right)....this shit is so frustrating, every job listing i see is a complete turn off, i may just move to tahoe and live off the land.

do tell...

Payment Processing is a decent at home job. I have a few buddies crushing 150k - 200k doing this, its a grind but if you can hack it good on you. It creates a decent revenue stream that compounds until your clients start to leave you.

unfortunately the dream of the nba eludes so many of our jewish brothers.

yeah i just googled this, seems there are a lot of scams with these involving money laundering, etc...of course if i was making 150k a year i'd prob be cool with that. you happen to know the company's name?

Looooooooool
Is this thread real?????
