4. Medical Transcriptionist – Average Yearly Salary: $34,020
Despite what angry old guys on AM radio might have you believe, the health care industry is booming more than it has in decades – thanks, Obama! As a result, medical transcription positions are rapidly becoming the “it” job of this generation.
Medical transcriptionists are sort of a hybrid of office receptionist and court stenographer. They convert audio records to written documents and edit patient files, and a growing number of them do so from home.
What you’ll need: Most work-from-home transcription firms require a two-year degree from a highly specialized academic program.
