Legitimate work-at-home jobs for some extra money?

We Answered:

"If a company requires initial payment from you in order to work for them, they are not legitimate."

There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills inc fast typing, may want you to know MS Excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but thats rare.

If you do an advanced search on yahoo, you will find previous answers, sometimes the info on these is good as the info they gave is likely to have been verified if the answer was voted as 'Best'.

About work at home jobs for students, which ones work and are reliable?

We Answered:

You list your question under technology - do you have experience in web design or something like that?

As you have discovered, the "jobs" filling out surveys are basically scams. The other "work on your computer and make big bucks" websites are also scams. If you want to really get paid, look for a real job at a real company like most other students do.
