I'm so glad I found this topic. It has been so helpful and inspiring. I have just started thinking about being a VA. My plan is to keep working my full time job and just work part-time as a VA for awhile. I would really like to work for another VA to start out. I have been working in banking industry for the past 30 years and it's definitely time for a change! I really want to do this, so any advice on how to get started would be greatly appreciated. I want to start out doing bookkeeping, data entry, general office work. Eventually I would like to learn real estate and bankruptcy VA work.
