Just not enough time???

There are tons of things that I would just love to do. However, I feel that I don't have enough time during the day to do them all! 8 hours of my weekday is spent at work, then 2 hours after work is spent cooking, cleaning and making breakfasts and lunches the next day (yes, it takes me that long!) and then I have 3 hours to spend for myself. Well, not really for myself, I try to give my husband that 1 hour and then the other two I spend reading or writing or even working! But really, once school starts those 2 to 3 hours will be dedicated to my studies. I really just want this education stuff to be done. Done. Done. Just one more year. One more year and I can really get my career started. Does anyone feel that way right now? Or at least feel that they're not going anywhere with their career because they're missing some sort of qualification to move further up the career ladder? I'm definitely feel it now.

 

Work at Home.

I've been very curious lately regarding home based jobs, you know the jobs where you can work at home? So, just out of curiousity I did a little research and I found out a few things about these jobs. Of course, there are positives and negatives to jobs, and online jobs aren't any different... Well, it is a little different. Here's what I've found out:

1) Many of these jobs are scams, I didn't say ALL, just many. Even though they look like "professional" sites, or even look legit, they might not be what they actually are. So do some background research on the company before you apply.

2) A majority of these online jobs do not offer big money like they advertise. I came across a couple websites where their ad said "Want to earn $200 in an hour?" Or "This will make you rich!" If it was that simple I'm sure many people would be doing it, but the reality is, these online jobs take time. A lot of time to be sucessful. Don't quit your day job just because you're "hired."

3) Many of these job positions are: Data Entry, Surveys, or Call Centre positions. Sound easy? Again, if they were, many people would be quitting their day jobs just so they could work at home.

4) Now if you happen to find a legitimate, and good paying job, the very positive aspect of working from home is, well, you'd be working from home. It's pretty rewarding in the respect that you wouldn't really have to pay for gas to drive to and from your work, you could work your own hours, wear your own clothes, and well, you don't really have to deal with the "working environment."

And that is what I found out so far. I know I could make a longer list, but this is pretty much what sums up online/home-based jobs. I would recommend if you really want to work at home, take up freelancing. Start your own "business" and get paid for doing what you enjoy. The only downside is that you would have to compete with a lot of others out there that are freelancing as well.

Good luck!

Project

My weeks are going by so fast! I know I haven't been updating here as much as I want to, but I have been busy working on a wonderful project that I hope people would like. Of course, it is a very big upgrade for one thing, and it will take some time for me to complete. So please bear with me while I complete it. It will be worth it! I'm sure!

In the past few weeks, I've been settling down at my job. I'm getting the hang of doing things around the building and I'm even able to manage my work and additional work as well. It is quite rewarding, however, I want to do more. How? I have no idea, but I'm hoping that the path I'm taking at this job will allow me to get somewhere far.

I have about a month left until school starts again. Oh boy. I wonder how that will end up. I'm a little nervous. I feel that I've taken more than what I expected, but I won't give up now without even trying. I keep thinking of all the work that piles up on me every morning, then by the end of the day it's all done. I keep relating that with school. Even though it seems like a lot now, eventually it will be over soon and I can relax.

Keep at it!!
