LOL! I am not offering a job if that's how this thread is percieved......I am simply wondering why more people don't do that type of work while living in Colombia (or any place for that matter). All one needs is a solid internet connection and landline. usher-thanks for the "laugh of the day".

Also, urgency, when it comes to fixing infrastructure, is alot different in Colombia, than the States...

theres always ads for this type of work on the colombian 'craigslist' page. It typically pays between 5 - 8 dollars max depending upon experience

Exactly where would that be ?

Some of us do and have been for years,,,

On Sept 17, 2008: Senator John McCain said, as he had many times before, that he believed the fundamentals of the economy were "strong."Hours later he backpedaled, explaining that he had meant that American workers were Strong.

I know people who do that.

There is a guy who runs a marketing firm, specializing in web-strategies like blogging and using social web aps to reach a new market. He also does pro-writing and some other stuff on the side. He and his partner finally realised that they weren't tied to Canada, so they sold their house and moved to the Meditteranean for a year... and worked from there.. same clientele - Canadian, Americans & Europeans.

No problems.

Someone else I know telecommutes to another province. Goes to the office one day every 2 weeks, sometimes 2-3 days a month instead. Otherwise works online from home.

There have been a ton of stories in the past on CNN and other stations highlighting for instance "stay at home moms" being able to work from home. Most of the jobs that I know about are sales or customer service type jobs. There is A LOT of junk out there as well that appear to be scams. I'm going to seriously look into it later in the year and I will post up my findings on PBH.
