The world has changed and what was the only way to work in the past no longer the truth. It used to be that you could only find a job commute to work and do your job in an office and then commute back home. As funny as it sounds that is not very appealing to many so they have opted to do otherwise. If you look around, you will realize that people are on the road each and every day going to work and later on returning home in the evening tired and exhausted. This has been going on for years but it is for a fact that it is not the only option of employment available anymore.
I am sure you have heard people talking of how they are making it big online right from the comfort of their homes. Some of them work for a company from home and some work for themselves. This does not mean they play all day instead they dictate the hours they wish to work each day. This by far is the best thing that has happened to many people so far and they are able to shape their lifestyles in a way they desire.
This is something that may be considered the wave of future of employment, without necessarily being tied in an office, where you seem to have no freedom. Of course you have more freedom if you work online. This is actually the reason why many are flocking the online platform if they have not secured a job yet and those who are already in employment where possible, are trying to squeeze in some time to do some online tasks.
The opportunities online are unlimited; some of course require proper education. With education comes a price tag. Then again if you already have the required education it is a great place to look. This has given many a chance to dictate how much they are worth as per the tasks they are willing to take and based on this; online jobs have turned out to be a lucrative opportunity for many.
Some of the top earning jobs online are;
- Financial management – this is a skill based job that is earning financial managers a median of up to $1,227 every other week.
- Medical transcription – this has much to do with what is sometimes termed as “tele-health” and experts in this field are earning between $30,000 and $50,000 every year, with the chance of accessing a signing bonus.
- Tax preparation – this task is in line with those of a financial nature and those who opt for tasks of this nature online earn a median of $1,061 every week.
- Radiologists and Physician jobs – these are experts in another medical field that are earning quite some good money too. It is believed that they are earning something close to a median of $1,975 every week.
- Registered nurses – these professionals are mostly engaged in offering online advice of a medical nature to patients. They earn a median of $1,055 every week.
- System administration, computer science jobs and programming – these are professionals in the technology field and their earnings are close to $1,200 for each of their projects every week.
- Computer software engineering jobs – it is slightly different from the others in the field of technology and those in this field earn a median of $1,549 every week which translates to $85,000 every year.
These are some of the best online jobs you can find around and to add to that list are other online jobs that are also lucrative. These include postsecondary teaching, public relations specialists, writers and authors as well as graphic designing. The determinant in this case is finding frequent well paying jobs over a long period of time to realize good returns.
Don’t worry I could never forget affiliate marketing, or blogger. The best part about affiliate marketing and blogging is you don’t need to have an expensive degree to succeed. In fact, many successful online entrepreneurs don’t have a college education. That does not mean that they don’t work hard. I think that is the biggest misconception that people who work online don’t work hard. In fact, if you are not disciplined working at home may not be the best thing for you.
Working from home has taken another dimension altogether with online tasks and you might want to know that there are millions of professionals working online already and a great number are joining the platform every other day. As you might have realized, you do not have to be in an office anymore to work, you can as well do the same elsewhere and better still from the convenience of your house.
Stay at home moms have also found something to keep them engaged through this platform and it has turned them into their own bosses right from home, as they go about other chores in the house. The flexibility that this platform offers is what has made it the most appropriate way to make money from home for them. In other words, it is an opportunity that cuts across the board. There really are all kinds of opportunities out there. So don’t wait jump on one of them now, because the surest way to not succeed is to not try.

I always imagined myself to “retire” from traditional jobs and do a home based business so I can be more flexible with my schedule and have more time to spend with my son. After graduating from college last year, I had a hard time finding a job and after a few researches online I discovered Wealthy Affiliate and learned how to launch my own website. I didn’t think it was going to happen so soon but it’s great that I got an early start at this and hopefully this becomes my sole income in the future.
Joon,
Awesome story and thanks for the reference to my number one recommendation, Wealthy Affiliate. Yes if you really want to build a successful business online, that is the place to start.

There are certainly a lot of mainstream jobs that can now be done online as you have mentioned.
Interesting that you mention that many online entrepreneurs don’t have college degrees, so they come from all walks of life. So give it a go, but as you say it does take a bit of hard work.
Great job, I appreciate your input on these.
Jamie,
Thank you for your comment. I also find it very interesting that many online entrepreneurs dont have college degrees. I actually have my masters, but that doesnt mean that someone else who doesnt cant be successful.
