Wife is Looking for Job

[Devany]

Or then there is plan C: Become a realtor. For about $1200 worth of training, licensing fees and a broker to back you, she could be selling real estate in a few months. SO many people have left the business because of the recession, it is a good time to get in on it, especially since you eventually want to move to the Brown Side, where the prices are much more than what they are here.

But John's Plan B; Becoming an independent accountant/book keeper is a definate idea too.

OR Plan C... the virtual assitant! She could be doing book keeping and other work for companies and individuals anywhere. She has to be a hell of a lot smarter than all of the people doing it in India. A friend of ours has a virtual assistant who lives in Iowa. She is on call 24/7 to help him with his multi million dollar business.

Plan D, go in to education, the one business which has not seen a recession. Assuming she has a BA or BS, she would only have to get a teaching credential and then she could go for it. There was a big article in the paper today about incentives to recruit teachers, especially on the big island and in rural schools.

Plan E, There is always Avon... I saw a woman set up with her truck at the senic lookout just north of Hilo this afternoon and there were FOUR customers standing in line!

Plan F, You should have seen how long the lines were today at the shave ice and coffee booths at the Chinese New Year Festival. A shave ice machine would probably only cost a few hundred dollars. It is a very high profit business and if you made your own syrups they could have all natural flavors and less sugar.

Dave, it's time to move on to Plan B. If she is good with bookkeeping than start her own business. Most small businesses use bookkeeping services instead of hiring a bookkeeper.
