Are there any at-home typing jobs that are not scams?

Question

I am 18 years old, and can type around 70 words per minute. I heard there are many at-home typing jobs, so I decided to google it. However, I haven't found one yet that didn't seem like a scam. Most have asked me to pay up front. Are there any that aren't scams, and also would hire an 18 year old?

Answer 1

Medical transcripitonists work at home and make great money.

Answer 2

If you are an accomplished typist - word processor and have recently visited your local city college or university librarian, you can apply as a "certified" graduate typist, earning between $1.50 to $2.00 per page for a master or doctoral thesis. The librarian will provide you with a sample of the typing template (i.e., margin settings, font selection, page set up, etc.) in order to complete these projects. An average weekend income is about $300-$400 for two days work.

Good luck!

Answer 3

70 wpm. Wow, that's good.

People would hire an 18-year-old that types 70 words a minute. Is there some reason you cannot go out of the house to work? To interview at some temp agency, for example? There is less and less word-processing type work around, but there still is some, and you can type better than most.

If you know MS-Word (or can learn) that is also a plus. Good luck.

OH, imo, anything like "type at home" is probably a scam, unless it is through a legitimate employer that hired you in an office with a flexible work schedule.
