Opinion on study from home courses??
Wed, 05-12-2004 - 4:16pm
i see commercials all the time for 'earn your degree at home' and 'medical transcription and medical claims is in high demand and you can work from home earning up to 40,000 a year.' is this a scam or has anyone pursued this type of thing and actually found it to be legit? i've been a sahm for 3 yrs and i earn pocket money doing mystery shopping but i'm looking for something to put more time and effort into once dd goes to preschool 3 days a week in the fall. i have a medical background and thought this would be just for me but at the same time am not sure if it's a scam or not. also, if it isn't, which schools are legit? and has anyone actually seen profits on this? is it easy to find work?

any help, advice, or opinions would be greatly appreciate!!!

TIA
