If you are looking for a job that you can do at home, here are some options that are still open.

Medical Transcription

The job requires listening to recording made by doctors and then transcribing them into readable medical documents. An associate degree that includes course work in anatomy, medical terminology, legal issues and writing is needed.

Most jobs pay about $20 per hour and you don't need to have lunch out or pay for child care or commute to work.

Professional Sales or Business Development

These people are sometimes known as account executives, account directors, business managers, sales representatives, quality assurance managers, program directors or enterprise managers. An education in marketing is usually required, which usually comes as a major in a bachelor's degree in business. Those who have MBAs are given much higher pay.

Entrepreneurship

Apply for an 800 number, set up a fax line, build a great web site and with a lot of smarts, you can run almost any business you like from your home office. Study some business courses such as accounting, finance, marketing and internet business. Talk to your contacts and begin selling your product or service. You can do graphic design, programming or online retail sales.

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)

This is a new field that has a big demand for professionals. You may be asked to take care of personnel, accounting, or finance functions. Many BPOs are actually legal assistants, paralegals, accountants, and computer geeks. Know what you want to do and study for it.
