Are all of the work at home things just scams? are any of them real?

[Fortitude]

Is every single work at home thing fake? Here's an example site. NOT SPAMMING just asking if these ever work. I've always wished something like this is possible, so what do you guys think about it? http://job-tribune.com/ just a random "Work at home" site. Is it real? Does this work?

when your on monster.com lok for entry level it and data entry at local collages and towns. if you can get a gov job you can bid on better jobs when they open up and they have great ben when you retire.

Yes, pretty much. The ones that aren't outright scams are the usually something like customer support outsourcing, which tend to be very low-paying jobs, not the "I made $4K a week at home eating sandwiches!" types, which are invariably bull (unless you're the guy running the scam).

If you want to work from home as an actual career, your best shot is to seek a job in your field with a company that has extremely flexible telecommuting policies. Some companies do and some don't, it really depends on the company, the nature of the job, and how much the company values your skillset.
