Envelope Stuffing - Legal prosecution for participants becoming more common.
Craft Assembly - It's very hard to build a craft which meets their "standards".
Medical Billing - Cost thousands to start and it's very difficult to find clients. The medical community trusts only a few mega corporations for billing their patients.
