Working From Home
I am currently a full time college student. I have been working for most of my time in school and the job that I've had has been giving me more and more problems. I understand that in life I will have these types of issues in the future and with the jobs that I will work in... but, it has gotten a little bit out of control. Not necessarily that I'm being treated badly, but my safety is being jeopardized by the time I have to arrive and the fact that my boss wasn't even letting me lock the door in the mornings when I was there by myself. It's a long story and I don't need advise on this job. Bottom line is that I had to quit. I also have to focus on school too because I am planning on going to law school and I need to have good grades. I've managed to get good grades while working the stress was getting to me because like I said, safety was being jeopardized. They weren't even letting me take a lunch break and I had to rush from the office to school in one hour on an empty stomach. They also hired me under false pretenses promising a pay that they could not pay me.
Next Fall, I will have workstudy. Meaning, that I can get a job on campus through the federal work study program. Hopefully, I may even get it in March or April. I am really excited because I'm already involved in so may things in school that it would just be easier. I use the gym at school too so it's so easy to have everything in one place. My friend works on campus and they pay her for her lunch break! Even if it's not a lot of money, it's right on campus and it's enough to pay the bills.
Until then, I will need something extremely light. I was looking into working at home positions. This would be something I could do on the computer during my breaks, at school, maybe even late at night once I finished everything I had to do and I needed to make some extra cash. I have heard of this but I don't know of a legitimate place to go where I can find something like this. Maybe a typing position. Just some basic stuff I can do and either get paid by the hour or by the entries that I submit. I know that I've seen it, but if I use google, then maybe it won't just show legitimate stuff. Can any of you tell me if you've heard of this, are doing it, or know someone who is?
Thank you!
:)

I did some searching on the below. It's probably the only possibility out there. The pros are as stated, the cons are that you will spend alot more time sitting at your computer than you think to make your money.
I've read about twenty different reports from people on lionbridge in the last ten minutes which mostly state that you'll log in, there will be no work. You'll have to check back in regularly to catch work when it's there, you're basically competing for time with other people because there is a limited amount of work and a potentially unlimited number of workers.
It's basically a contract job. You pick up contracts and work them as they are available for you to do so. If your hours of access are limited, you could go a week without working just because you weren't online when work was actually available. Most people who make it work are stay at home moms who can sit with netflix and the company website both open and tab back and forth every five minutes to see if there is something to do.
Between that and regular retraining, more than one person has posted that you get paid for one of every three hours you actually devote to trying to work for them, even though the hour you get paid for is the only hour you spend doing official "work".
