Many of you on this board have much more
experience in business than I do...but let
me share what I know about this subject...
I work with many disabled people(mostly people
who suffer with low back pain, carpal tunnel,
stress) and with people who file workers compen-
sation claims.

Almost daily in my encounters and discussions
with the disabled(who are down to their last
dollar) they want to know: "what else can I
do?"(meaning work or other ways to make money)...
Most of the people who have relied on computer
usage as a career who have severe cases of carpal
tunnel wish they did have other sources of income...

It's amazing how many people with carpal tunnel
syndrome want to know what other types of jobs
can they do which don't require their hands...
Too bad many employers don't utilize the new
technologies which are voice activated so these
people can continue to work....

But multiple sources of income or some type of
business which involves leveraging "opb" or
"opr" would be the answer for them...
