My question is this:  Are there any legitimate employment agencies
where I can apply that hires people to work out of their homes?  I am
a college graduate and computer literate.  I must work at home right
now but cannot find anything that isn't a scam. I have a very good
computer.  Thank you.

Dear nthisit

I haven't found what you're looking for, but this might be worth
reading:
Council of Better Business Bureaus "Work-at-Home Schemes "
<http://www.bbb.org/library/workathome.asp>

My only suggestion, from what I read online, is to search for an idea
that you could do on your own (such as commercial baking, learning
web-design and later spreading the word in your community, teaching
online etc.) and not to wait for miricles from the sort of jobs
advertised online. You could also look for these jobs in "normal"
employment agencies (i.e. Manpower), whose clients are usually
legitimate.
