Traci, this is an issue that many face nearly everyday. My first thought is to ask you what kind of skills you acquired on your last job? If you worked in administration you can use those skills as a virtual assistant. Many business owners need assistants and can't afford to hire a full time employee. Also there are many work from home (honest)companies, most require a computer connection and phone line. This may be a perfect time of year to get a call center or customer service job.
