Thanks everyone.
Well believe it or not, the first place I worked was not ideal, it was a "pay to work there" kind of place.. but I worked my way up to actually being the personal assistant to the owner. I learned A LOT, the good and bad of working online, and then slowly weeded my way through online jobs until I eventually found that being a REVA is what worked best for me.
Every place I have worked online, I started at the bottom and worked my way up, and I think that is important for people to remember when they are looking for work. Everyone wants to start out making all the rules, and killer $$.
