<p>What Major and Job might allow someone to work from Home? I am under the impression that a lot of those “Data Entry” jobs saying “Work From Home, make $50/hr” are scams of some sort. What are common positions that might allow someone to work from home and make a decent living (i.e. $40,000/yr+)?</p>

<p>My dad works as a sales manager at intel and primarily works from home, he does have to attend meetings once in awhile, but he likes the flexibility his job gives him… He got a computer engineering major</p>

<p>Are there any others.?</p>

<p>The answer is the same as “which majors are in the most demand”?</p>

<p>If something is in high enough demand then employers will reduce their strict employment requirements such as a conventional office commute.</p>

<p>As such, if you browse the internet for a while on legitimate job websites (not conman “work from home” sites), you will find that most of the telecommuting positions are for professionals who are in demand across the board: Remote programmers, remote pharmacists, self-employed CPAs, contract engineers, etc.</p>

<p>Nobody is going to pay you 50/hr for an entry level unskilled position when India/China exist.</p>

<p>A lot of jobs will allow “teleworking” -where the boss agrees to let you work at home and occasionally come up to the office.</p>

<p>Another one I can think of would be if you started your own online business (don’t necessarily need to be a programmer), with your home as your temporary office. However, you’d need to go out for meetings quite often, and you’d eventually need to hire employees.</p>
