Being Comfortable is Important When Working

I worked in the medical field for several years before becoming a stay at home/work at home mom and when I say the scrubs I had to wear were very uncomfortable, I speak from experience.

The scrubs I had to wear were unisex and very boxy - definitely not comfortable or flattering. I had always wished there would be scrubs made more for a woman and now there is. The more uncomfortable I was, the less I wanted to be at work.

Too late for me to enjoy but for any woman who is in the medical field, I found lab coats, scrub sets, and even nursing uniforms - these not only fit perfectly but are comfortable as well.

This is such a huge deal for women. No more wearing boxy, unflattering scrubs and lab coats. Finally, something stylish!

Get Into the Stock Market!

Many stay at home workers tend to overlook income opportunities at every corner. For example, many bloggers, content writers and data entry writers could utilize the spare time spent gazing out of their windows on the stock market. Even if you are reluctant to “gamble” away money, you can ease your way into the market by purchasing and selling penny stocks.

Unless you happen to discover the next Microsoft or Apple, you will likely never get rich trading penny stocks. After all, as the name implies, a penny stock is very cheap to purchase. However, penny stocks give you an idea of how the system works, teaches you what to look for and what to avoid and generally help you get your feet wet.

At the very least, penny stocks could help you get through an otherwise long and boring day writing copy for your not so favorite client.

Become a Tax Preparer

Tax season is fast approaching and with increasing complicated tax laws, more and more people flock to certified tax preparers so they do not have worry about doing them on their own. When the new year rolls around, you will see a wealth of advertisements asking for new tax preparers for the tax season.

If you find yourself struggling with your at-home business during the first three to six months of the year due to the “new year lull” that happens after the holidays, you can obtain your tax preparer certification and seek employment with one of the many tax preparer companies that spring up out of nowhere in January. In most cases, you can expect to work part time hours with employment ending after April: when many at-home business start to pick up steam again.

In many cases, the training is paid and if you like the job, your certification for the next season is often faster than your initial training. This is a great way to increase your flow of income during a traditionally tough part of the year. It is also a good way to make business contacts, because many of the people you will prepare taxes for have small businesses and may be in need of your services. 

Home Recording Income

With the wide availability of home recording software such as Garage Band and Sonar, just about anyone with some music talent and a few thousand in capitol can put together a computer based home recording studio. You can use a studio to record beats and list them for sale on sides like Sound Click. This is an excellent way to make some income, if you are good at what you do.

An alternative is to follow in the footsteps of bands like KO. KO is a one man driven band that records, produces and distributes albums such as 175 Cherry Lane. A contemporary rock album full is tasty guitar lines. In fact, 175 Cherry Lane from KO served as my inspiration for this money making tip. I've been listening to this album for a few months and it amazes me how well an independent album can sound. In-fact, if you do a bit of researching, you will quickly find that the underground world of music is thriving...more so than big-box distributors.

If you have musical talent and a bit to invest, take a look at your options. If you have no musical talent, head over to CD Baby or iTunes and download Ko's newest album. You won't regret it!

Attire Choices for a Career in the Medical Field

I worked in the medical field as a medical assistant for several years. The attire choices were pretty limited back then and even though we got to wear scrubs of our choosing, we still had to wear frumpy lab coats!

Today, if you landed a job in the medical field, no matter as a medical assistant or a veterinary tech, the choices available today when it comes to scrub uniforms is plentiful.In fact, many are very stylish and flattering to wear. I remember feeling like the stay puft marshmallow man in the lab coats I had to wear.  Remember him?

Well, searching for style and comfort when it comes to lab coats and scrub uniforms brought me to  http://www.blueskyscrubs.com -- an excellent site for the type of lab coats and scrubs you will love to wear to do your job in the medical field.
