20 Work at Home Jobs Paying $20 An Hour or MORE

Published September 16, 2020 By Anna T. This post may contain affiliate links. Regardless, I only recommend sites I've researched and/or used and trust.

Do you want to work at home making a great deal more than minimum wage? If so, this post should get your wheels turning. I have created a list of several companies that pay their workers $20 an hour or more to work at home.

It goes without saying, but when you're talking about this kind of pay, you are almost always talking about companies that are more likely to require a very specific skill set or a college degree. It's very rare to find a work at home job that pays in this range where you need no prior skills or experience to start.

And if you don't have the right skills or experience to do the jobs listed below, keep in mind that at least now you know where the money is! So if you're thinking of furthering your education in order to get higher-paying work, you know what industries to possibly focus on.

So with that said, let's get on to the opportunities! As always, I cannot guarantee these companies are hiring right now, but if they are on the list, they have hired home-based workers in the past and paid $20 an hour or more.

    Hi,
    I am looking to retire from a 21 year career in law enforcement, mainly as a criminal investigator and will need to find a work at home type job.. I would like to have a full time position that would allow me to work remotely from my home, located in the east Texas area. I do not have a college degree, but I do have a variety of experience provided by my lengthy career in law enforcement.

    Are there any ideas of jobs that would be suitable? The jobs do not need to be law enforcement related.

    Thanks,

    I promote a number of work at home jobs or assignments that I believe can generate some good incomes. But you must do your diligence to visit each of the websites and read up their offers, to be convinced they are worth the investment. Though there are millions of scams on the internet, there are still a few genuine ones. Sometimes, one may need to take necessary risks.

    I’ve applied for Book in a Box, but it was a great experience. They didn’t leave me wondering where my I was in the process for weeks on end. Also, I’m on their list for when other things come up. I’m working on “me” so that I can make a career move into something that I enjoy and be paid what I’m worth!

    Good luck everyone!

    I have applied for at least 3-4 of these and they require experience as well. I have a masters degree in HR and have took IT classes but couldn’t get past the application. I have been 0 for 4 because my experience is in telecommunications (something I am trying to get away from because of the policies). If anyone has tips let me know. It is heartbreaking to go to school and get ‘typecast’ into a job.

      I know exactly what you mean! I’ll keep my eyes open for you!
