Are there any free work from home on your computer jobs out there?

Yes there are, but sad to say, nearly all of them are scams, which give you big promises and then just take your money. There are some reputable schools that will give you courses and training online, which will help you to get hired later on. But most of the work-from-home jobs advertised online do not lead to anything positive, and contrary to their claims, they are simply multi-level marketing schemes (also called pyramid schemes) that will not bring you the opportunity you seek.
