[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a SAHM,  I am not working and wouldn't have any interest in a low paying 3-6 hour job.  You'd have to pay a  LOT of money for me to b interested.[/quote]

Right? The condescension of OP is almost as amazing as their inability to perceive it [/quote]

I was SAHM who worked part-time for 1 1/2 yrs. It was great. I made a little money and it helped me put something on my resume for when I went back to WOHM full-time instead of having a big gap. The two of you are pretty clueless. This is the right opportunity for someone right now. OP is smart to get mature, motivated SAHM.[/quote]

NP. They don't want it because it's easier to be supported entirely by spouse. Why would they want to mess with that?[/quote]

When I did a small etsy business on the side, and was doing decently, by the time they took out taxes based off my husband's income plus fees, it wasn't worth it.  My husband had me shut it down as it complicated things.  We aren't even "high" income.[/quote]

We had the same experience. I was a new SAHM to 2 under 4. Literally part of my therapy for depression and anxiety was to secure a p/t job - my therapist helped me work out a plan to have something to get outside of my house. Through a friend, I got a merchandising job doing product inventory and display set up. It was stress-free and the perfect fit at the time for me. I think I made just about then minimum wage and got a monthly paycheck that might have been $400. Did this for one year and learned that this tiny bump in income put us into a higher tax bracket! I lost so much in taxes! Also had to quit and ended up doing volunteer work.[/quote]

I'm a SAHM without the skills or experience for working at home online and would love a part time job like this-inventory and display set up.  Does anyone know where to look for something like this? Or is it too rare to find?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for any classes to take to make you more marketable for an online at home job? I have a BS degree in education but haven't used it in many years and I'm not interested in that field anymore.

PP with product display job. I work for American Greetings and then Hallmark cards as a merchandiser, at in store locations like Safeway and Giant.  Loved this little gig. My friend who got me the job worked for a costume jewelry line (I think it was Monet) who set up all the store displays in mall stores.

My single uncle retired from a government clerical job and does re-shelving and merchandising for World Markets.

A retired teacher friend works for Kohls but only handles store-to-store transfers. She typically works 3 days a week and has zero customer service interactions / makes her own hours.
