Denise,
I'll try to give you a lesson I learned years ago as a child. My father was in the computer business back in the 1970's (yeah back then). Believe it or not the company he worked for went belly up and he was out of a job. My mother did not work as she was a stay at home mom with four young boys. My father could not get a job at the time and decided to to odd jobs for anybody that would hire him. Within a year he started a "real" business and began to actually earn a decent living. The business grew over the years and my parents are now enjoying a comfortable retiremet.

My point is that my father took a chance out of desperation and ended up finding a niche business and being quite successful. If you don't give it a chance, you will always wonder what might have been. I urge you to give it a shot, some income is better than none!
