Once you have done a thorough skills self-assessment, then start looking at ways you can utilize those skills.
I wish you good luck |
Thank you..and your right, it is hard for others to understand when you don't actually "look" sick..and of course the restaurant business isn't the most understanding business...you are a number no matter how long you have worked there...but the upside is complete flexibility and fast cash. It has enabled me to stay home with my boys and make the same if not more than what I would in an 8-5 job. Its addictive but hard on the body.
Your suggestion is a great idea...I taught myself how to sew a few years back and love to do it...I didn't even think about doing something related to sewing. Because of all the meds I take I don't think working with children would be too ideal...anxiety and such...I am great at typing and thought if I could find something like that that I could do at home...but don't really know which businesses are legit....I will have to sit down and really think about my skills...Thanks!
