HELP NEEDED

This is not really a poem or anything but more of a question. Okay, so everyone knows about the resession that's going on right now. If you have'nt than let me be the first person to tell you. Jobs are at a stand still at this, I know because I'm right in the middle looking for something , anything. Well , not really anything. Something I like, like helping people, and answering the phones. Right I voulunteer in the volunteer office across from a local hospital. I 'm trying my best to stick in there because I really want the job but it's taking forever. So I thought why do the some online college courses for psychology while I volunteer. That if I do get a job, I can still do college courses while working. While looking for the colleges courses I came upon a this website and at the bottom it said freelance writers needed, earn up to $250 hr. I thought wow this could be something I could do while trying to find a job. The question should I do this? Is this a safe thing to do and has on here ever don't it? If so please tell me about it and try and answer my questions.

Thank you for reading........
