Oh my goodness! For the last several days, I have been visiting my parents in sunny Florida. Although they do have a computer, Thank Goodness; they have the slowest internet connection on earth. They use a dial-up connection. I’m not a patient person. Using their slow internet computer connection is like torture. My surfing experience goes something like this: I click on a link. The little bar thing moves to a half of a square. I go get something to drink. The bar moves to a full square. The internet connection is so slow that it makes me want to run screaming from the room. I chastise my dog for wanting to go out when I’m trying to surf. The page appears to have frozen, so I let him go outside. I watch him run. We go inside, the bar has now moved to the second square. My mother asks me how long I’m going to be on the computer. It’ll probably take me a week to load one page. I give up.

Most work at home jobs which require you to use a computer expect you to have a high speed connection. There are a few that don’t require high speed. You will certainly get more work at home opportunities if you do have a high speed connection, though. You have to make sure that you will be earning enough to pay for the connection. The companies usually require you to have your own equipment.
