FourPaws,
Well, there are many work at home jobs out there. It all depends on what you want to do. Like there is the whole Web-Cam thing that is a real paycheck (believe it or not), Medical Coding, HUD Processors, Web design, E-Bay, Surveys (but that sucks), Babysitting, and document writer, that is just to name a few.
You know when you get a job and you need work boots? It is like an investment in your job thus you spend money. Check into the company BEFORE you spend any money. Talk to real people about it, not just follow what the screen says. All work at home jobs cost money in one way or another, just like buying work boots.
I kinda work at home. I have a few websites and I also offer Personal Assistant Services for locals and travelers. (pick up dry cleaning, right hand person, gopher, etc..)
Being Bipolar I know you can think outside the box. Let your mind wonder and roll with it you may be surprised!
