Work from home options...need advice

    Hey need some advice.

    Im currently doing a course at the moment but will more than likely have to drop out due to mental health reasons, there is a good chance of work at the end of this course but as I said I'm really struggling at the moment and it's all pretty much falling apart, I've missed a lot of time already and I feel im just prolonging the inevitable.

    Anyway, I was thinking of a change, as in a work from home sort of setup, I feel this would be an ideal fit for me and it would go along way in helping my mental health if I could find something in this area, I was thinking along the line of legal/medical audio transcription since I successfully completed a legal course a while back and have good typing accuracy and speed, another was data entry or something, anything really from home.

    Anyone know if these work from home jobs are scarce or hard to come by?

    Any advice at all would be really appreciated.

    They exist but you're competing with Filipinos etc.

    Have a look on upwork.com to see if anything could work for you.

    Good luck.

    They exist and I know people who do them - they are paid reasonably well if you are fast and accurate (and have good spelling and grammar, obviously). You need to do a test of your skills before they start using your services.
    Google 'transcription services' and contact the companies with your CV.
