I live in the Pocono's of PA (I love where I live). Beltzville State Park in practically in my backyard and we enjoy walking the dogs daily. But there are no jobs in this area, I must travel at least 45 minutes for a good paying job. I would LOVE to find something that I can do from my home, any suggestions would be appreciated?

I live in GA and the best paying jobs are all in Atlanta. Most folks around here have to commute there for good jobs. *I think* We are the city with the longest commute.

For the first time in my adult life I have a "NORMAL" body weight! WOOHOO!!

Do you have any experience in building web pages? That might be a good option. Or, is there a University close by? Sometimes you can do typing jobs for people doing their thesis. Have you check on Craig's list or other on-line job classifieds? Get in touch with a head-hunter agency - they might have contacts that could use at home people in their companies to do calls/computer input etc. Just some ideas.....good luck and let us know if anything pans out for you.

Medical Transcription can be done from home with a one year (if that) certificate. You may have to invest some time driving to a brick and mortar job for a year or so before a at home position becomes available though.
