While you may not make a fortune with an EBay business, if you have a good or original product to sell, you can make a decent living.

With the price of gas and other utilities being completely out of control, more and more employers are open to telecommuting. If they will not bend, start your job search for a work at home job doing what you are currently doing. Since you are already working in the field, you will have a greater chance to get the job than looking for just any work from home job.
