There are a lot of home-based businesses that you can make a go of it with. Just be sure that it is a well-known, well-established company that you are working for. My sister is a Mary Kay consultant and was able to quit her job after less than 3 months and make more than what she made at her job. It takes dedication, but you can set your own hours. She loves doing it, and she's met a lot of people in the process that have become good friends, many of whom also swap babysitting with her on occassion. There are a lot of options like that that you would be able to do at home.
