My step-dad is thinking about a change of career at the age of 53 and fancies working from home but he hasnt got a clue what line of work he wants to do.

Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated

I dont think its quite what he had in mind Cornelius

If there was a simple answer to the question we'd all be doing it!

Working from home has to be computer based or craft based (unless he wants to lick envelopes for a living) these days there are a lot of people making a living from online sales through ebay. The problem is that there is a tonne of competition. Generally its based around what is already an interest. Obviously if he's interested in something then he has some knowledge of it.

He needs to decide what he is going to do: send him here for a starting point:

What about one of them 0808 numbers and pretending he is a hunk for all those bored housewives ringing up.

I make a fortune out of it. :sweet:

Cheers for that Mr I

By the way,how much do you get per envelope?

BECAUSE you have to speak to me first not just breath heavy.

Fooked if I know but I'd be suprised if it's more than a penny a time or a tenner per thousand.

Or you can do a job with a large amount of freedom. Like mine, for instance!

Get an engineering degree and fifteen years industrial experience behind you, become bilingual, brush up your English, and hey presto - you can do what I do.

go on then start talking dirty about footy

Well he's got his fist ready!!!!
