I've been searching and researching for weeks, and it seems like entry-level remote job listings that I've been able to find come in two categories: either they pay substantially less than $20 per hour (and, living in California, $20 per hour is the minimum I need to make), or they're actually time-wasting scam bait and switches like "Paid Online Writing Jobs" and that sort of thing.

I haven't been able to find anything legit that's remote, $20+ per hour, and entry-level (i.e., no degree necessary, etc.), so I'm starting to think that such jobs don't exist in reality. Am I wasting my time trying to find a job like that?

On the surface level it seems like an introvert’s dream job: wfh, don’t have to be on the phone all day, and it’s an entry level job where you just type type type. But what is it actually like working in Data Entry? What are some misconceptions about the job? I’m trying to determine if it’s a job worth pursuing. TIA!
