I can't really give you specifics but I know there are ways out there. A girl I know from high school works from home I believe she sells insurance or something. She works when she wants to, which is not often. Then I saw a news clip talking about it, working from home. I know one of the biggest things people are doing now is call centers. Some companies are out sourcing their call centers over seas but many have turned to people right here that want to stay at home. I don't know how to get into either though, so I'm fairly useless. Here is an article about at home call centers

If I get any more info I'll let you know. I wish I could find that clip for you, it had four or five ideas on how to work at home, if I do I'll post it for you.
