We are asking the question for real-life reasons; not being rhetorical.
There is a real 37 year old lady who was born with congenital defects that prevent her from ever driving a motor vehicle.
Yet she is highly intelligent, very good with mathematics and logic, writes great poetry, has experience proofreading documents for authors, has fast and accurate typing skills.
She has worked as a teacher's aid at the elementary level but housing was provided at the school and she didn't need to drive.
Now she is in a rural setting, too far to walk to a job.
She would like to do legitimate work on-line, but we have great skepticism about the availability of real jobs on the Internet.
Do any Freepers know of legitimate work that such a gal can to on-line?
Thanks,

What state is she in? More likely she could find state assistance in the form of driving help.

Not .com, or .org. The Federal Gov has specific goals for disabled people like her, providing that she can get to her job. The pay isn’t fantastic, the benefits are not nearly as good as many think. But the work is steady and dependable.
Yes there are. Check out a site called Rat Race Rebellion. They have lists of companies that hire home workers. They send out weekly emails with new opportunities. They do screen them, but there are times when some companies are no longer hiring.
Thank you. Checking.
You might check the CraigsList nearest her location. They have local jobs and part-time/freelance ads.
Just be aware that the list might also include scams, etc.
She could teach English as a second language online if she’s a native speaker. Its mostly just giving speaking practice to foreigners. Doesn’t usually require a degree.
My Brother found a job online.
A bit of an odd one but it paid well. He was teaching on the island of Kwajalein. I think it was for two years.

Thank you. She is having a look.
I was a career counselor.
She will examine all of these. Appreciated.
Sounds useful. Thanks. I am compiling all of these in a list for her.
I have heard of this firm, and I think that there was a 60 Minutes piece on them but I have no first hand experience with them. Its basically call center work.
Some reviews.
