Working from home is Awesome. You wake up when you want to, make breakfast and some coffee, read the paper, and login whenever you want! There is no boss looking over your shoulder, telling you when to be there on a Monday morning or when you can leave on Friday. It’s you, your work, and a couch! Well, it’s a bit more work than that, but you do get to work from the couch. Here are a list of some of the best work from home jobs you may or may not be eligible for.
Neurologist. Yes, there is such a thing as a remote brain surgeon! A Nevada Hospital is looking for a full-time neurology physician. Benefits include: $500 signing bonus; W2 salary; medical, dental, vision insurance; enhanced 401k plan; continuing education allowance; professional dues and licensure allowance; generous vacation/paid time off; paid travel. Amazing!
Getting paid to wear shirts. In this up and down economy Jason Sadler has started outsourcing wardrobe (namely shirts)! He has been wearing a different shirt everyday in 2009, taking multiple pictures throughout the day, blogging, tweeting, and facebooking all over the internet. You do the math $1, $2, $3…$365! He is making a killing from home!
Metal Music Blogger. Finally get paid to Rock, from home! This is a great occasional writing gig for a metal music fan who is very knowledgeable about the genre and who (ideally) already attends concerts and festivals. Ever wanted to get paid to talk about music? Here’s your chance!
Hello Kitty Online Community Manager. This full time position is being offered to a knowledgeable and passionate Hello Kitty fan anywhere in the world! Offered by the gaming company, they are hiring an online community manager for all things Hello Kitty.
Magazine publisher, Hugh Hefner. So this list is obviously not in order. Working from the Playboy mansion, with the parties bunnies, cars, pools, animals, and everything else any Playboy could ever want is by far the best work from home job ever! In 1953, Hugh raised $8,000 from 45 investors to launch Playboy. Work clothes: robe!
Toishanese Interpreter. What is Toishanese you ask? Well it is a dialect of Cantonese mainly spoken in and around Taishan, a county-level city situated southwest of Guangzhou on the coast of Guangdong province. Don’t live in or around Taishan? Work from home! International interpretation services hire for tons of different languages, including Spanish, French, German, and some exotic languages like Toishanese too!
Virtual Juror. Did you like being on a jury but hated getting up early and driving to the courthouse? This is for you! Telecommuting Jurors review information, answer attorneys’ questions, and provide feedback on cases. Must be over 18 and a US citizen, but what a sweet gig!
So there you have it. If you’ve always wanted to quit, or just got laid off. There is a job for everyone, and your office can be your couch!

Jason at iwearyourshirt.com seriously inspired me to do something non-office-ish but all I wanted to do was wear t-shirts and he’s already cornered that market.

I’m still trying to figure out how to turn days off (when I am constantly online) into days where I get paid more than when I go to work… So far, I’ve gotten 3 t-shirts and a package of jerky… NOT paying the bills.
