Finding a legitimate work at home opportunity is a dream for many people, and it was for me too!
When I first found out that it was possible, I was completely amazed.
However, when I started, I didn’t have much experience. I was fresh out of high school and did not have any experience.
With my own experience and extensive research, I have compiled a current list here for your reference!
I have divided it into several sections all the way from survey/microwork up to larger (potentially contract) positions.
I sincerely hope this can help anyone looking to start their journey!
