Setting My Goals For Earning Extra Income

I've decided I want to work four days a week, five hours a day and earn $25 an hour. Now I have to decide how I'm going to do that.
Last night I took a quiz called, What career suites your personality. It's on www.ivillage.co.uk . It was amazing how close they matched my personality with the things I like to do. A few careers they suggest for me are; Artist, Historian, Novelist, Photographer, Photo Journalist, Travel Agent, Advertising or On line Content Developer.
I would love to do any of those jobs! And it's possible to do so at my age. Let's face it, age does make a difference.
I'm going to narrow the list down to three jobs, do some research on each one and make a final decision.

Finding a Job In Midlife When You're a Stay At Home Mom

Like everyone else these days we find our selves living on less. I'm fifty six years old and have been a stay at home wife and mom most of those years. Lately I've been brainstorming to find a way to stay home and be able to help with the bills by doing something I enjoy and getting paid for it. I think women that have never worked out side the home don't realize the many skills and talents they possess. I made a list today of things I enjoy doing and I was surprised at how many of them could be used to bring in some extra income. I'll share more on this tomorrow.
