I would be an advocate for children rights. I will represent and speak in the juvenille system on behalf of children. I believe that too many children in the US have parents who are not proficient to represent them in court.

I love what I do now! But I dream of the day when I can put in less hours and spend some time volunteering around town...

Doing some kind of computer work like transcription, but working from home. I've gotten to the point where I just don't like getting out, even though my current job isn't far from me.

I worked from home once. I entered data to a web database. A temp assignment. I LOVED it. I could work anytime of the day or night, hair all sticking up all over, wearing my house slippers, no one telling me when I could take my break.

Hmmm. I don't really like getting out any more either but it's because there's so much traffic all the time, so many people, I feel like I can't get space, I'm crowded. Makes me wanna be a hermit in a cave (but with internet service and electricity for my puter.)

I knew a friend that took over a business, she did data entry for doctors... She had course material that she had to study to learn coding. I think you can find packets that cost 300 too 400 dollars, that are the training materials you need, then you have to go to doctor's offices and promote yourself to do the work for them out of your home. She lived ok off of only about 4 accounts. I've thought about trying it.

Well, there ya go, Mojow! Now you're thinkin'! Just do your homework before shelling out any money for "training and materials" and do what you already know how to do; promote yourself. Good luck!

I want to be a consumer for a living. Not the personal assistant type, because I can't deal with needy people, just shop and go out to eat
