This is a great list of well-paying jobs you can do from home. I don’t have any formal qualification to do any of these but if I did, I’d be a psychologist or a mental health counsellor.
Thank you Corinne. I’ll write a new article on well-paid jobs that you can do from home without formal qualifications as well.
Hi Corina! Have you made that list for WFH jobs without formal training? I have anmasters in social work and 10+ years experience but no clinical license and am finding it hard to find home based jobs. 🙁
Hi Sonjachardé! I am actually working on a such article, should come out soon. In the meantime, maybe this list of websites for remote jobs should help

Great post. Very timely with all that’s going on. This will help people. Thanks.
Thank you, Jonathon 🙂
I have several friends who have been displaced and are trying to find employment, so this post with 18 at home job suggestions is perfect. I wasn’t aware of some of the IT positions.
Sorry to hear about your friends, Kimberlie. It’s tough for everyone right now. Hopefully, everything will be done soon. Stay safe!
I would be delighted to expand my remote work taste buds. Thanks Corina.
Thanks for this helpful blog. I am currently looking for a remote IT job and this certainly helped. Just applied for a couple of positions. Fingers crossed 🙂
