Could the daily commute to work become a thing of the past? According to a 2023 Owl Labs survey, roughly 63% of workers stated that remote work was the most important aspect of their job, which was more than salary (61%), flexible schedules (55%), work-life boundaries (54%), and having a good boss (48%). In this new post-pandemic world, the opportunities to work remotely are endless.
Some types of jobs have always been remote. Others, which were never traditionally remote, can now transition to this new style of business with the help of technology. What all of these new opportunities have in common: You can make a full-time salary, by working from home. Check out some of the hottest new career opportunities that you can pursue while working from your couch.
Customer Service & Call Center Agent: Many companies have remote customer service and sales employees, whether they are in-house or outsourced. In-house customer service representatives are employees who are employed directly by the company. When a company outsources their customer service department, this means they hire separate call centers to provide the customer service for them.
So, there are plenty of ways to be hired as a work-from-home customer service representative. As a remote customer service representative, you can earn between $16 and $22 per hour, depending on your level of experience and where the company is based. Also, the only qualification necessary is oftentimes to have a high school diploma.

Inbound and Outbound Sales: If you are a great people-person, and communication is one of your strongest attributes, you may be a great candidate for an inbound or outbound sales position .
These employees focus on generating new business through customer outreach. This role, centered around communication and persuasion, is well-suited for remote work, allowing for a flexible schedule and independence.
All you usually just need is a high school diploma, and you can start working your way towards a salary that often sits between $42,000 and $55,000 a year.
