Some of the greatest inventions and ideas have come from brainstorming--reading, pondering, observing the things, people, and processes that you come into contact with daily.
You can apply that to your search for viable employment from home. I came across this WashingtonPost.com article about an artist that works for the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This is what he says about his job:
"My job is to look at an image and faithfully re-create it by cutting lines, dots and dashes in the steel," Madden said. "You must remain very quiet and calm as you go in with your V-shaped tool. Think about a field being plowed. . . . You must stay within the bank note style that creates precise intersections."
Madden, 43, has spent almost 20 years mastering bank note engraving, part of a complex printing process called intaglio. Now the process is transitioning, as engraving moves from the human hand to computers. The bureau says the need for hand engravers won't disappear, however, as a mastery of the old process will be necessary to effectively use electronic software to engrave. The switch is part of the bureau's strategy to stay ahead of counterfeiters, whose efforts have become easier with the advent of digital color copying and printing technology.
He has found his niche and has the experience and talent that make him indispensable to his employer. Of course, his particular line of work might have security issues that would prevent him from working from home--but you never know!
The point is discover what your strengths are and see how they can be improved upon and used to create your own niche, preferably a work-from-home niche!
