Hello,

Has anyone been successful at working from home and worth the time?

My day job is a System Engineer mainly with the Microsoft stack. I also do a lot of PowerShell scripting.

I'd like to do more of this stuff but it seems they are all day jobs... Anyone have any insight as to how you were able to get one?

Like freelance? I've done that before. It can be hard to find work.

I've repaired electronics from home when I was a teenager.
I've done web programming.
I've written and published some apps that are making me a passive income.

Those are all flooded with Chinese people who will work for $3 an hour.

Maybe he can pay them to do his regular job, then he can work at a 7-11. Even at minimum wage he'd come out ahead, and it would be brainless work.

Someone did that. They had not one, but two tech jobs they outsourced while they sat around and got paid. Eventually got caught.

Chinese minimum wage is something like US$ 300-400 a month depending on the province? Assuming 20 working days, that's $20/day. Assume 8 hours a day (lol), that's $2.50/hour. Double or triple that for super fun?
