#1 Virtual Assistant: In the past days, being the office assistant meant working in the same office as your boss. However, with today's technology, that's no longer a requirement. With a computer and Internet access, you can easily work from home or the nearest coffee shop. As a virtual assistant, you would do everything traditional assistants do, from bookkeeping and scheduling appointments to writing up memos and reports. Virtual assistants typically work as independent contractors rather than employees and handle multiple clients. Customer service representatives typically require a high school diploma and are trained on the job. They should be good at communicating with people and have basic computer skills to get going. Pay varies according to the work. Virtual assistants working through a staffing agency make the least, usually around $10 per hour. However, if you work directly with clients, the pay goes up tremendously, averaging between $28 and $45 per hour.
