I am looking for a job I can do at home. Does anybody know of anything?

I would first assess what your skills and interest are. There are amny free online assessments out there. For example, you can take a basic DISC or Myers-Briggs (MBTI) assessment. Once you have a good handle on your skills and interest, then you can focus on a job search as suggested above with telecommuting as your goal. The other option is to seek out business opportunities that would allow you to work from your home. You could look into franchised businesses, web based business, or mobile businesses. Mobile business will require purchasing or retrofitting a vehicle for work such as a mobile dog groomer or catering truck.

I recommend searching in a similar way that you would for a job that you don't work from home. Many organizations now support telecommuting. I'm most familiar with the technology industry and naturally there are many telecommuting opportunities in that industry. You might be surprised too there are plenty of non-technical or semi-technical opportunities in technology... It isn't only for people who can code and such.
I see you are working towards being a pilot, so is a career goal to fly and you are just looking for something short-term to pay the bills?
