Looking for an online job.

  I am a thirty+ married women with no children and i live in a small town.  I like that i have this kind of independence very, very much, especially since i took care of other people’s children.  Anyways i was traveling or commuting (whatever you want to call it) to a job for about 4 or 5 years since i have been married.  It is okay for about a month, but then it started to feel like my legs developed atrophy from driving to work everyday.  My town which i will not name, has a population approx. 2000+ people.  My town is small with not alot of job opportunity.  Why not continue to travel you may ask.  Well besides the legs starting to go to sleep for no reason from the traveling, it is also because of the low income.  Let’s put it this way,  I have 6 months of college ed. to my name, therefore i am not a college genius.  My education goes only as so far as a high school diploma, so i am doomed to “HSD/GED” only required Jobs. Therefore because of this i am min. wage material.  My work ethic though, if i may boast a little, is more than par.  I have had many compliments thank you very much.  Anyway back to “my quest”.  I got this job working for a retail cellular phone store that i had to take money out of the cash register to get back home.   NO NO!  I was not stealing.  Quite the contrary,  my boss knew this.  This was the setup:  I go to work Monday thru Sat.  (I loved the hours because i worked Saturday,but part time only, so it was like extra income, and I still had my Saturday to do whatever.) Anyways,  I would get paid Friday and pay the money i owed back that i had borrowed for gas, so i could get home from the rest of the week. On top of that, I broke down more than once. So me and my husband decided that i should stop working out of town, since i wasn’t making that much money.  Plus i was making the car run everyday for long periods of time.  This is not good for any vehicle.  Solution:  Work where you are at.  That is fine and dandy, but some people are not meant to be waitresses and i am one of those people.  I tried that too and it did not work out.  So i started to clean other peoples houses.  That lasted for a few years off and on, and then my body just could not do it anymore.  I worked also as a childcare aid and babysitter and basically i did almost everything under the sun.  I finally told my husband “Look, we probably will never be rich but i am fine with that.  You make enough to pay the bills and that is ok with me.  I will be like the “old timey” housewife and do my best at it.  I will try basically. (which i am still doing so.)  Anyways, this is where my online job search comes in.  I have been searching for an online job even while i was working those very few years back.  I stumbled onto many things and now here i am.  “WE SHALL SEE…what happens next”!
