I am a hard working single mom who has and always will put in 110% whether it is in an office or working from home. I chose to work from home so that I can be with my son. I don't have anyone bring home the bacon just me so that makes me work hard to be able to support my son and myself. Not all mom's working from home are doing it out of boredom.

Gee, why not over-generalize some more. NM

Don't tell me not to generalize.
I worked for Spheris, too, so I know exactly how they operate. That experience is one that I based my "generalization" on. Even if you haven't gotten your first paycheck, they still have recourse against you because of the papers you signed when you were recruited and when the computer was delivered. Why do you think they won't send the computer out until you send your packet back? Don't think they won't sue for the return of their equipment or file a collection against your credit report. I was hired on Spheris' 2nd most difficult account and made $12 per hour on training pay. They pay based on the account level, not experience. If you're on the easiest clinic account, you make less money than those hired for acute care or ESL.
Also, credit inquiries are different than "information verification" run against the credit reporting agency's data. You don't get notified of information verification from that Credit Guard or Credit Watch junk. Do they call you every year when your homeowners or auto policy runs your credit? Or when credit card companies are soliciting new customers through the mail, so they survey the database? Or when you apply for a job and the company is verifying your data? No, but it still happens and it's not reported as "activity" because YOU didn't initiate it as a request for credit. You only get notified when an actual credit application is run through. As a former loan officer for a mortgage company, I know how credit reporting works.
Excuse me, but please do not generalize about
I am married to a high school teacher in public school who busts his butt for his kids and the kids and his colleagues know it. My husband also knows many dedicated teachers who, along with him, could easily earn 3 times his salary in the private sector. In many other countries, teachers are paid as professionals like doctors, lawyers, etc., because other countries really value education. You can also place some responsibility squarely on the shoulders of many parents who never show up at school for ANYTHING unless there's trouble and they have no choice. Further, it doesn't help that the current administration has cut Pell grants, making it more difficult for people to get the educatin they need to compete in an ever changing world. Yes, our country has misplaced priorities. Unfortunately, many times it's about materialism and keeping up with the Joneses and not doing the things that really matter. Too many people not paying attention to what is going on.
