For obvious reasons, many people would prefer to work from the comfort of home rather than face the grueling commute that enslaves so many corporate drones. Some people think that sustainable work from home is merely a pipe dream, but they clearly don’t know where to look. The widespread popularity of the Internet has opened up a multitude of doors for telecommuters.

Blogging is one of the most potentially fruitful new careers available. If you have something – anything – interesting and relevant to say on a given subject, there could be someone out there willing to pay you to write about it. Other telecommuting jobs are even less risky. Companies that deal with enormous amounts of raw data are always looking for someone to perform data entry work from home. These jobs typically start as part-time or temporary positions, but there are also full-time slots available.
