You all know tax season, right? So you must imagine that being a tax preparer is a seasonal job, from January until the end of April, that can be easily done straight from your home.

Tax preparers aer asked to work weekends, or maybe evenings and weekdays, but they can choose the time that works better for their schedules.

Even if you are working long hours, you can do it from your home, so are they really long hours?

9. Graphic Designer

Up next we’re talking about being a graphic designer.

Median salary: $42.000

If you have a good eye on what’s appealing to a customer, what would look good together and you can draw, then why don’t you become a graphic designer?

You can work in any kind of domain you want, like marketing, technology, commercial industries and others, right from your home.

Of course, you might have to meet clients, but you can do pretty much everything from home, such as decide on the design’s guidelines, conduct the research you need, draw/improve the design.

And this is for sure one job I’m happy to see on this list (I guess you can figure out why). Being a writer might not be an easy ride, but buckle up, because hard work pays off.

Bloggers, authors, journalists, they are all writers in different ways, and if you decide to take this path, you can work from home for sure.

There is no need to explain why novel authors can totally work from home, that is kind of self-explanatory, right? You can write whenever you feel inspired to because it’s your story, you can publish it any time you want (that is, if your publisher doesn’t pressure you).

If you are not an author and you go for the media-side of writing, you might have to go to an office from time to time, but the things you can do from home are countless, including research, preparing your stories, having all the materials ready, or promote your writing on social media. All you need is a laptop, and you’re good!

Ever heard about post-secondary teachers?

Since the online world is expanding and evolving as we speak, it’s only normal for teachers to get involved in this environment too.

Post-secondary teachers are those lucky ones who can stay at home, drink their coffee, and tutor students through the internet. They can communicate with people all over the world and give them advice using video conference, phone call, or e-mail, making it easier and more convenient for both themselves, and the student.

If you have great online communication, you know your way around the internet and you have good teaching skills, a post-secondary teacher might be your dream job!
