Graphic arts or desktop publishing. You could teach yourself a lot of what you need to know, and augment your knowledge by taking a few night courses. Get yourself set up with a good computer and color printer and start looking for contracts. A friend of mine works from home as a graphic artist. Never seems to be without work. And, she just had a baby, so she can be home with him all day and still be working. Best of both worlds. Interestingly, her husband also works from home.

Amy,
I don't have answers to your questions right now, but I'll ask my friend the next time I am talking to her. She has been doing the graphic arts thing for quite a while (before I met her and her husband). But, you are right - where there's a will, there's a way! And, everybody has to start somewhere. So, at first, the contracts may not be big or prestigious, but you would be gaining experience and building a portfolio of sorts.
