Anyone ever worked a work-at-home job?

I got this opportunity with a popular cell service provider around here, and I start training in 8 days online. I'll essentially be taking calls through landline from my home phone and answering questions/providing service to customers. Sounds pretty sweet but the training is extremely long and I only get re-imbursed at the end, and then I start getting paid hourly.

yea it was called chores and i got allowence for it

Sounds like a scam.Nibroc420

I worked for HP doing at home tech support. It was $600 a week, paid weekly.

It was cool at first but the temptations are far too great. I mean you have your PC right there in front of you. There is no such thing as NSFW. Plus there is just too many chances to be lazy about things. But that's just me I think.

Also, the feeling that you are not really working kind of got to me after a while. It just never felt like work, which I guess I needed.

I suppose I need to get up for work and leave the house, come back 9-10hrs later for me to feel like I actually worked.

Another thing is that you never get to detach your work from your home. You are always home and always at work. Some people need that change of scenery and social interaction.

Working at home always sounds good. I wouldn't want to do it again though. The way I see it, it takes a special type of person to be able to do it effectively. You really need to make sure you have total peace and quiet. You cannot have dogs barking/babies screaming while you are representing a company. It kinda makes for very awkward responses from the customer.

But hey, you may be good for this kind of work. It can't hurt to give it a try.

No but my dad does. From what I've seen, it may be a great idea especially if no ones home but it requires a lot of self-dispilicine which I do not have. Also, no co-workers to talk to.

Does mowing my lawn when I was a teenager for $20 count?

If not I do "try" to write articles for Cracked.com. Try being the key word, I've only ever had one pitch even make it to considering but I didn't have enough material to support a humorous slant to my article, which is kind of the point of a comedy site with a list format. You can have the list, and the basis, but its gotta be super funny.

Though even then that's not a job, that's just writing stuff for money, freelance that makes so little money its not even a job as much as a nice little paid hobby or whatever. At best you probably couldn't even pay half the rent on a mediocre apartment with several articles a month.
