[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to assume that you are not a troll and this is not a 'bait' question.

It will be very difficult to find an employer who is going to allow you to work from home without knowing your background and reliability.  Most WAHM opportunities present themselves after an employee has been with the company for a while and it is something that is negotiated between the employer and the employee.

What skills do you have that you could use to work from home?  I do not know much about Environmental Science, but my predictions are that this is not a field that may offer a lot of WAHM PT opportunities, especially since you have not worked in this field for 10 years.  Did you take any recent classes?  Do you have computer skills/administrative experience?

You may have to get creative.  Do you like the outdoors?  You could open up a small dog walking business.  Check with neighbors/friends/your child's school to see if any dogs need to be walked during certain hours/weekends (depending on your availability).  You could also work for a professional pet sitting business.  It will get you outside, exercise and you could earn some money.

Are you crafty?  If you are able to come up with a unique idea, you could sell your products on Etsy.  I have a friend who does this and while she doesn't make six figures (not even five..), it is fun and it gives her some spending money for personal things.

You could try to sign up with a Temp Agency and find temporary clerical work once in a while.  If you are not too picky and you have reliable transportation, you should be able to pick up an assignment here or there.  Of course, this would not be WAHM though.

I WAHM PT for my company and I also have a consulting business.  I work when my DD is in school (8-3) and I may work a few hours in the evenings.  But I have years of experience in this field and I have always worked.

I think, given this difficult economy, it will be very difficult to find something that is PT [b]and [/b]WAHM for you, but I still wish you good luck in your job searchand I truly hope that you find something that interests you.  [/quote]
