Many of the best paying remote jobs were originally done in the office. Over the last couple of years, stay-at-home recommendations and self-isolation showed the need for more remote services.
Health care providers increased their use of telecommunication technology as the need for medical services and the suggested social-distancing space rose. One of the highest paying remote jobs is Telehealth Nurse Practitioner, with an average salary of $111,000.
You need a master’s degree in nursing, several certifications, and an active license in your state to be a Nurse Practitioner. The medical field is growing, and there will always be a demand for health care workers, so pursuing a higher degree now could help you make big bucks for the rest of your life.
Likewise, Telehealth Mental Health Specialists must have a master’s degree in their field but can earn six figures annually. Some remote mental health jobs include:
- Crisis Counselor – $45,000
- Social Worker – $56,900
- Mental Health Counselor – $58,000
- Clinical Therapist – $79,550
Some professionals use their experiences and knowledge to transform other people’s lives and businesses. Life and Success Coaches help their clients reach their potential, while Consultants provide analysis and opinions about how to improve a company in some way.
Both Coaches and Consultants set their rates and can charge per hour, per project, or however they want. Salary reports for Consultants range from $45,000 to $140,000 annually, and the median salary for Life Coaches is $57,000 or $160 an hour.
