Death to a dream

I'm sitting here in a rut with a dead end job with no future, but great pay and benefits, and try time and time again to earn extra money without breaking my back doing it or gettign scam out of money in the process. Read about great work at home opportunities in a magazine so look them up at home. Trying to turn over a new leaf is very hard when one gets slammed with EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Those words are death to a dream.

One site I looked up was for virtual assistant where one can be a personal assistant over the internet. I got the computer, got DSL, got a great printer, got a landline phone, No Office Experience. Strike One.

Next I checked on being a tutor. I'm not a teacher but did get a college in history. Passed the subject test and got stumped on the essay question "What are the 3 most important issues addressed in a tutoring session?" Never tutored before (I tried but my fellow students needed math help, not history or English) and never been tutored so I have no idea the 3 most important things about a tutoring session. Strike Two.

Lastly, I tried to be an online guide or expert. I have cats, sales clerk experience, and a college degree. The topics desiring expert advice are sports, medicine, webpage designing, and natives living in tourist attractions. Strike Three. I'm out of ideas.

My only conclusion I can come up with is that what I'm good at doesn't pay well. That's why I'm poor and stay poor. I tried to freelance write once but newspapers and magazines want journalism majors still in college to pay squat (if at all) to. The best pay I saw offered was a penny a word for a 500 word essay. That is $5 an 500 word essay. I make more renting cars to people. I shall remain in my rut. Post later. Bye!
