jobs at home or on the computer at home?

does anyone know if ther are an jobs that you can do at home or over the internet? i'm looking to have some pocket money. i've looked at some of those ''you can do at home'' there is always a catch though. any suggestions?

thanks uzma i was thinking something a little more simple though. if possible on the internet. any other suggestions?

I work full time as a telecommuter from home but I have been with my company for almost 20 years. I know that a lot of companies with employees who sit in front of a computer all day often allow their full time employees to telecommute either full time as I do or for two to three days a week (with the other days in the office). This type of work is monitored very carefully though and there are strict policies and procedures in place to assure that homebased employees (or remotes as we are called) are actually working their required 8 hours. Believe me, they would know it if I were not working and they can even run printouts of everywhere I go on the internet for my boss. It isn't as great as it sounds. I have been doing this for five years and I really dislike it a lot. I miss the contact with the other people in the office (who are like my family), going to lunch, dressing up, etc. This type of work can be very isolating and if you are a social person stay in the office.

I know that you are maybe not trying to have a career or anything but I think it is a lot harder than people make it sound to make money doing stuff part time on the internet. If you are working for a company now and use a computer you could maybe approach them about doing it from home part time. I think this may be the wave of the future but it isn't easy.
