I worked for a GM auto plant for years and thought my job was secure. I mean every family needs a car, right, some even two or three. But times are changing and places like China work for a fraction of what we in North America are used to being paid. Downsizing and outsourcing are becoming all too commonly heard. I still didn�t think it would happen to me, but it did. I finally realized that I had to be the master of my destiny and I couldn�t let my family suffer just because the economy was. As sole breadwinner they depended on me. So I went looking for a my own business. Something I could control. I searched for a franchise but found they were pretty much for the wealthy. I searched the MLM companies. They say that 95% of their client base stay with them. What I found out later with one MLM company is that it was meant monthly, and at 5% a month you have lost 60% of your clients in a year so I would be forever treading water. No job security there. So while I am internet surfing looking for something secure to build a business on my PC picked up some virus which slowly messed up my computer. As my system started to malfunction it would reopen sites that I had tried to shut down after just the briefest viewing. One kept repeatedly popping up and really irritating me until my only alternative was to let it finally run through its movie before I could shut it down. As I sat there steaming I realized that this was the one I had been searching so long for! My final question after I made contact with the company was, "Why isn�t everybody doing this!" I now have a virus free PC with new security system and a secure home based education business. It's were the future of education is going. If we as adults hate the commut to work and start working from home its not too far in the future that it will be the same for our children. If not for the virus I would not be on my way to earning more money in a year than I would have in 5 years with GM. And all I do is chat with very nice people that want information on a world class product. I work less than 4 hours a day. I�m there when my kids come home. I can stop and start anytime of the day, so if I need a break to watch a favourite show or nap, I can do it. I can still do this job when I am in my senior years. I even have my own secure website at www.evacameron.com. Hard to believe that I might owe it all to that old PC virus. --- MAF Anti-Spam ID: 20051011163009U1g6OsB3
