Home Employment - Fact Or Myth?
By Max Foggleman | July 28, 2008
I have heard that there is legitmate home employment oportunites; however, I have never actually found an actual situation that could work for me. At a time when gas is so expensive and I would like to implement my income I really need to find a second job that can be done from my home.
I have heard of home employment throught advertising and other sources but I don’t know anyone who actually makes a living at it. Even people who have their own business and work from their home must leave it in order to conduct business.
My former supervisor asked me if i was interested doing medical billing at home, that he knew someone who was doing it and he would have them contact me. The thought was there but he never followed through. I recieved e-mails asking about the same thing being trained to do medical billing - the catch was you had to pay for the course and then no guarantee was in place that you would find employment. Primarily you would be doing most of your business with a internet entity. That’s not home employment that’s being taken advantage of.
I believe that I am not a lazy person. I would be happy to have my work monitored as I really need a second income to make ends meet and am willing to to whatever it takes to work from home.
I am currently working as a 1099 employee outside the home and the self-employment tax is killing me. It is better for the individual I work for to pay me this way so he does not have to pay the taxes; however, I must pay a 15% tax on all money earned after expenses are deducted.
I suppose there is a way to file paperwork to set up my own business that would allow me to write off more expenses; however, I do not have the money to go about doing this in the proper fashion. Isn’t that what they call a \”Catch 22\”?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could come up with an idea like the \”Pet Rock\”? Now there is someone who took their intellectual property to the bank. Sensational ideas like this one, however, also require some type of capital to get the idea off the gound.
If anyone out there has truly learned a way to make money from home, I beg of you, please call me! As usual, there are still bills to pay, braces to pay for, groceries to purchase and vacations I would love to dream about and someday have the time and money to take!
