Some jobs are easier to perform when you work from home. However, remote work is on the rise, and jobs that you never thought could be done away from the office, are now successfully being done comfortably from thousands of peoples couches. Thinking about jobs that are easily done by computer, telephone, and don’t need constant face-to-face interaction may be some of the best remote work options.
