Work these part-time jobs from home.
With no commute, no cubicle and no co-workers nearby, remote work is the ideal arrangement for many people. Working from home can save you money on expenses such as transportation and child care while also adding flexibility to your schedule. Fortunately, many employers are now embracing remote work as the rule rather than the exception. But what if you only want to work part-time? The good news is that you can work many part-time jobs from home as well. Here are seven of the best — and perhaps unexpected — part-time, work from home jobs, with data coming from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Computer Systems Analyst
Median salary: $93,730

Computer systems are an integral part of businesses today, and companies hire computer system analysts to evaluate their current technology and suggest upgrades. They may also oversee the installation of new systems, test equipment and train workers on how to use it.

Physician
Median salary: $208,000
Education required: Medical school, residency, state licensure
A few years ago, it would have been hard to imagine a physician working from home. After all, it’s hard to diagnose and treat a patient you can’t see. However, advances in technology and the availability of at-home examination kits, such as those offered by TytoCare, make it possible for physicians to conduct remote examinations and prescribe treatments for a variety of common conditions. Telemedicine companies may hire doctors on a part-time basis to provide this care.
