I have two questions that I would appreciate answered if possible. After I finish college next year I will have my certificate in MT. If, and only if, I can't get a job in house, I will be trying to work from home. How much would you guys say it would cost to start up work from home? I priced books at barnes & noble (stedman's) and the ones I have been encouraged to get cost around $700. Aside from the books, how much would you say (average) everything else I would need costs? Like foot pedal, possibly a fax machine, the software needed for the computer if one is not provided, ect. My second question is, what would be the best company to go with that hires newbies? TIA.
