Need suggestions on how to work from home, earn a at least $50-60,000 per year. Any suggestions on where to apply for employment? I have a B.S. in Urban Studies, a M.S. in Information and Library Science. I am currently a Reference Librarian/Asst. Professor/researcher with a young family. I need to spend more time at home and earn a good living. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Well I made up in my mind that I will work harder to set my self free of these bills and save more money also I would love to work from home. It takes quite a lot of sacrifice but it is ok because I will get my chance to do and get what I want without worrying about the bills later I am excited to reach that momentum in my life.
