Thanks for the welcome
I posted because I was skeptical of the whole thing at first, and worried about giving it a shot, which seems to be the sentiment of many others. I researched about two months ago, and didn't see this forum.
My purpose was not to encourage anyone to sign up, only to put to ease in others the same worry that I had when applying, and let people know what to expect. I don't think broadcasting that you are going to make minimum wage (much less if you figure in the SE tax) is encouraging. It certainly isn't for me. I'm doing it because the post graduate degree I hold is doing absolutely nothing for me right now and I need whatever I can find to help pay the bills.
Sorry to try to be of help to anyone out there-- I see why many people just keep their mouth shut and don't offer their two cents, even when it can be of assistance to someone else. I may be an 'outsider' of the forums, but that does not diminish the validity of what I have to say.
Hopefully no one will get screwed over by some scam company because someone chose not to say something; Hopefully, some stay at home mom will not lose a valuable opportunity out of fear, because someone decided not to speak up.
Thanks for the warm welcome and the judgment.
