ok I let you in my little secret...I do all kind of tests for mechanics, service advisors, service and parts managers and sales for car dealerships. The high: the pay is good, about $10 to $15 the hr depending of the lenght of the test and the grade I get (I make more if I get 100's) I also make more depending of the line of vehicle, MB and BMW pay more than Chrysler or Ford. The low: it is seasonal, only during certification times, that would be every 4 months or so. You also need to know someone in the field, because this is totally underground, no one is supossed to know  . But I get my regular phone calls asking for my services.
I don't need to know anything about a car (I don't drive you see) but I have good memory and I can do multiple choices and math problems real good . I use my engineer skills to do these tests when I don't have any other project going on.
Hope you find something that will work for you.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

My sister used to bake cheesecakes for restaurants in Maine. The health dept. came through and certified her kitchen and she said it was no big deal. It does have overhead but she had contracts and knew the money she made would pay for the supplies. I remember a few years ago one of our students mom used to sell candy at our schools for various holidays and that worked. The bakery idea Pat had would probably be a good start too. My husband is a potter and has been working at home for almost 30 years. There are lots of ups and downs but the best was the childcare aspect. Also we have some pretty good tax advantages. Good luck!

My oldest stepdaughter works from home and does quite okay financially.
She does service calls for one of the natural gas companies.
It meant she had to have a decent computer with a phone nearby.
She takes service calls - people who have had their furnace quit - or they need prices on new hot water heaters - any number of problem type calls like that and then she enters it into the computer where it's dealt with by the technicians.
She only works evenings after the baby has gone to bed.
She used to also do one of the pizza places as well but it didn't pay as well so she dropped that one.
Lots of the big companies are outsourcing their service work to home workers.
Hope this is yet another thing for you to mull over.

You might think about boarding dogs or cats in your home. Years ago when my son craved a dog and I was a single parent with no money to spare, I decided we would board dogs. We did, and the money came in handy. We operated mostly by word-of-mouth, although once I put an ad in a little local paper.
Clients in this situation provide all the food. However, I always gave our (boarder) dogs little healthful extras when we were having things like roast beef and brown rice, etc.
Things to consider: You will need to write up something and get your potential client(s) to sign, absolving you of responsibility in case of accidents and authorizing you to take their pet to ______ animal hospital if necessary.
Your dogs should be walked at noontime. My junior high son left school to come home and take out our boarder. (I was employed full-time elsewhere.)
We made it a point to offer potential clients an entirely free weekend at our place BEFORE the actual boarding began. This way the pet was not nearly so miserable when he/she came back to board with us--the (dog) had lived with us for a weekend and gotten plenty of love and pampering. It made our later work much easier and I highly recommend it.
Interesting: we never had a dog urinate or vomit or do anything else unsociable in our house while with us. We fell in love with each and every one and missed them when they left us.
A bit of work, but it's all profit and love!

For example, this week he's on 2nd, shift, next week he's on 1st shift, the following week he's on 3rd shift, so not only do I deal with that, I also have Lily's Karate commitment to stick to.
Brew is correct.
writer- thanks for the suggestion but my husband would say a resounding no, not only that, but I'm just wanting to make a few hundred dollars to buy my camera and equipt., so something like that would be a whole different direction I don't want to go in. Thank you for time though!
