Alternatives to Regular Jobs


The economy is changing and so are jobs. Long-term career type jobs are getting fewer and further apart than ever. The hyper-competitive corporate world is not for everyone. Are there alternatives?
Sure! Let's look at some.

Upwork  
This is the world of freelance. This site has a wide variety of jobs. You still have to be qualified but there is enough here for you to find a niche.

Rat Race Rebellion
"Work from home jobs and extra cash..." Many different ways to make money here.

Generate Income on Line No Scams
How to set up an online business and avoid scams. There is a lot of good information here.

Nice Talk Tutor
Help Chinese learn English. Something Different.

 Dave's ESL Cafe
All kinds of English as second language teaching jobs the world over. Lots of good information and resources.

Clickworker
Extra cash. 

Expediters On Line
Trucking, CDL and non-CDL.

Amazon Mechanical Turk
Extra cash.

Voice 123

Take comfort in your own skills and abilities and not a fading promise of thirty years and a gold watch.  But beware. There are many good opportunities out there and also some scammers. Do your homework and see if any of these are a good fit.
