I’ve really only just begun college.

I am not a business major by any means, but have taken an interest in business, particularly home businesses, since I was in middle school. I am, in fact, an animal science major.

It is true that there is a lot of fraud within the financial world, but what about focusing on the world of home businesses? Everyday, I see ads over the internet offering ways to make thousands of dollars, but they turn out to be scams. On average, I would say that for every legitimate work from home or home business opportunity there are fifty or more scams. The population of those wanting to work from home seems to be growing everyday and the population for scams, particularly internet scams, seems to be growing just as fast if not faster. I was lucky to find a good business.

I really agree that research is of utmost importance and should be conducted before any type of investment is made.

At one point I probably would be considered as one to be placed on the “most likely to be scammed� list, but now I have forced myself to become a little more skeptical of new opportunities. I make sure I do my research before I decide whether or not to become involved with anything.
