[samy23]

Do you know of any computer type careers that can be done at home? It makes sense most of them can be done at home if you have a computer right? So far I have come accross computer programmer. Are there any others?

I have mommy brain these days! Are you looking for careers that involve working on/with computer technology or careers that can be done if you have a computer at home?

Well I work at home as a technical writer. I work ON a computer and all my deliverables are sent by email. Is that what you mean? I don't really work with computers, but my job is computer based and I don't go to an office.

I work at home as a graphic designer. I do art and design for things like shops, advertisements, etc. I also do websites. Do you know CSS? If not, you can learn it on your own. I taught myself HTML years ago. Libraries are a good source.

My husband used to work not at home, but out of our home as a computer technician. He used to pass out business cards and promote as much as possible. Mostly it was word-of-mouth. His rates were very good and he guaranteed his work. It wasn't steady income, however, so he ended up getting a job as the network systems specialist at a local company. Still, if you want to be your own boss, it's better than nothing.
