Out of work - the opportunities are endless

I have spent the last week looking for ways to earn money while I wait for my ideal position. I am still searching and talking with companies for the ideal position and during down time, researching in-home type of contract work. It is amazing to me to see this new way of working. There are legitimate ways to earn money working from home but there are so many more scams. I am fascinated by sites that offer "membership fees" to get in touch with companies that outsource data entry and such. Why do I have to pay the fee? Shouldn't the company that needs the work done pay the fee? YES. I will not sign up or register for anything that requires me to pay for it. Read the fine print, then continue to charge you and they do not have to ask, the responsibility is on you to cancel because of that fine print.

So, a word to the wise. Do not pay for access to this type of information. Elance and oDesk are two companies that provide access without charging you.

Just thought I would share a first hand experience.
