Up to Almost Six-Figure Jobs ($90,000 – $118,000) that could let you work from home
I get this question SO. OFTEN. via email and via Instagram, that I thought I’d post a comprehensive list of almost 6-figure jobs that may let you work from home.
My job is on one of these lists. Some stats:
- Have worked about 57% of my career taking breaks in between.
- Make about $20K – $30K/month when I do work on a contract
- Only work 40 hours a week, no more, sometimes less. 😛
- Don’t always get to work from home – it depends on the client. Some jobs are cool with it, others are not. Sometimes, I just tell them my terms – I am going to be remote, is that acceptable? If they really need me, they’ll agree. This works best when you don’t really need the money. *shrug*
Want a $$$$ job that lets you work from home? Here you go.
Note: Some of these jobs are clearly not rigid 40-hour workweeks. Keep that in mind.

In retirement I make six figures consulting mostly from my home office, sometimes in my pajamas. I also travel some, consulting, but my work hours are much less than 40 a week. Often less than 10 hours a week. It pays six figures for minimal work hours because I save my clients millions each year in my narrow field of specialization. I don’t need an income but I enjoy the challenge and the social contact with business and political leadership. Having spent many years at a 9 to 5 corporate job, this is better! But it didn’t happen by accident, I planned it and cultivated the skill set and relationships over decades to make it possible.
