I am a full-time public school teacher. While I enjoy what I do (minus some crazy classes at times haha) my desire would be to work from home full-time. I have a large family and my wife had many health issues in the past (and still not 100%). . I would love to be able to work from home full-time yet help/assist her or the kids if the situation arose. I also would need a higher salary - around the $85K+ range.
So my question - I have no experience in IT or sales. Do any you know of which jobs people could work from home full-time and are financially secure? If so, I would tackle any additional degree online (if it’s a big 3 testable one or near test out and get it done). I have a BA degree and also an associates but my entire work experience up to this point has been teaching. I’m 34
I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you in advance everyone.
Ha ha ha - I haven't been here in a few weeks and I come back today and find this post. Acamp you know I am trying to recruit you into sales, so just come to the dark side. If you work for a solid company that clearly outlines the sales expectations and provides adequate training, you will be just fine. Most of my sales reps are making 6-figures and are most are former teachers.
Anyhow.. no pressureJust check my company's postings and see what's in your area or shoot me an email. Sales does have a lot of problems, but usually money isn't one of them. And not to worry, the jobs really are financially secure.
Sales jobs that are 100% work from home? That seems unusual. In my experience, most sales jobs require a lot of travel (local, international, or both) plus require a certain high-pressure mentality.

Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
