Just looked up a "Top Ten Work at Home Jobs" website recommended on a respected radio talk show.
Only none of the jobs sounded legit to me, so I looked #1 up on the Better Business Bureau's website.
Lo and behold, under alternative names for this company, were listed all of the other "top ten" work-at-home scams jobs, pardon me.
Hah!
When in doubt, check it out.

So what were they? Help us out! Of course if I work at home, I'd be taking away part of your income…hmm. Maybe you'll need to keep it to yourself!

Yeah, that's exactly what tipped me off that it was a scam–all ten jobs were so vaguely worded there wasn't any way to know what they were, exactly without paying to find out–they were all just extravagant promises of easy money with little effort, with no details. Until you pay for more, of course. I just want to know how NPR can recommend something like that without checking into it first. However–there is a site you might want to look at. If you have your masters degree (I don't), and like scoring tests, check out http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.22f30af61d34e9c39a77b13bc3921509/?vgnextoid=2b167f95494f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD
and http://www.higheredjobs.com/ has some positions for teaching classes online for real colleges.
