1. Medical writer
Medical writers create manuals, training documents, patient education materials and other documents. They may work at pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, medical equipment companies or other health-related companies.
2. Technical writer
Technical writers translate complex technical information into consumer-friendly and easy-to-follow documents. They primarily create user manuals, but they may also create how-to guides, or write white papers, journal articles and other types of supporting documentation.
3. Speech-language pathologist
Although they work primarily with children, speech-language pathologists may also work with adults to help them overcome difficulties with speech and language processing. Because speech difficulties range from mild to severe, speech-language pathologists must create individualized treatment plans and strategies for each patient.
4. Certified public accountant
Certified public accountants do more than prepare tax returns. They also help clients review their financial information, prepare tax and finance documents, and stay educated on changes in tax laws or government regulations. Certified public accountants may also perform audits and suggest ways to improve bookkeeping and record-keeping.
5. Registered nurse
Most registered nurses work for hospitals or medical clinics, although they can work for outpatient facilities, private practices or rehabilitation facilities. Their primary duties are related to patient care and include administering medication, monitoring patient recovery, and patient and family education.
6. Software developer
Software developers create the applications that run computers, phones and other devices. They may develop custom programs or develop programs that integrate with an existing system. Many software developers are familiar with multiple programming and database languages. This common work-from-home job frequently pays more than $25 an hour.
7. Project manager
Project managers define milestones, goals and timelines for projects. The project manager is also responsible for coordinating everyone who works on the project to ensure they meet their goals and keep the project on time. Project managers also manage the project budget to make sure there are no cost overruns.
8. Business consultant
Business consultants help companies find more effective ways of conducting business. They may suggest improvements that streamline billing and collecting procedures to increase cash flow or suggest process improvements to improve the company’s overall efficiency.
9. Software engineer
Software engineers are different from software developers in that the engineer maps out the way the software will function. They define what the program will do and how it should perform. Software engineers work with other programmers and coders to ensure all parts of the program work together.
10. Senior recruiter
Senior recruiters work with their team to ensure that company staffing needs are met. They create strategic approaches to attract the best talent to their talent pool and help the company figure out what salary and perks they should offer.
