I'm no expert, but if you're communicating online I would expect good grammar to be important.

If you don't know what jobs are available, then probably NONE ARE!

I mean you can't consult on computers, or internet. You can't do internet services. You can't create any services, etc... If you had the ability to do any of that, you would know.

I think about the only thing left is USING internet services to do things like auction off, or sell stuff. Of course, that is on COMMISSION, or based on your cost.

You will see LOTS of "jobs" offered. MOST are idiots that don't know, or care, what jobs are. Others are pure SCAMS. So you have to watch it.

BTW probably over half of amazon's income is providing such services. Almost 100% of ebay's income is probably providing such services. And the cost is modest. At least THEY aren't scams, but they aren't jobs either.

Don't think $500 a month is likely, but you never know

well spelling is not one of my strong points. I was an A student but i fell but of favor with school and qwit before it was legal to even drop out. Half of the spelling deal is the fact i dont care to spell right lol. aspergers kind of was a downfall since i refused to pay attention to stuff i held no fixation in. (normal IQ) I never had the good side of the syndrome. I am diagnosed with AS but i dont fit the sterotype with the high IQ, just the lack of intagrating into the real world. i might be lower in the spectrum than aspergers but as it stands now thats the DX. i will have to say i am the smartest person i know that has not benn to college in my little town. thanks for the info

You might be able to find your own Cicada society. There could be people just as interested in them as you. You could charge dues and publish a little newsletter, maybe turn it into a non profit or Cicada preservation society.

Maybe 100% of the JOBS advertised for online, outside of sites like monster, DICE, and their smaller counterparts, ARE SCAMS! They are either "Pay us and we give you stuff to do X with and send back to us for money" or "Pay us for this MLM and we get a kickback", or "Pay us for this, and we will tell you how to make money", etc....

The first is often a full SCAM! At best, it is piecework, and you may never really break even. The second is MLM! At BEST, it is a business that may get NO money from. The last is simply telling you how to maybe start a business, and you may never break even.

A JOB will pay a fixed base price, or pay by hour. They are subject to laws in the US. You could pick 1000 "jobs" off ads on the internet, and not find ONE real job.

The problem with DICE and Monster is that if YOU want to work online, they require skills and a history. So they don't fit the OPs requirements.
