I'm eager to explore remote job opportunities, but my lack of a degree and limited secretarial experience (which primarily involved answering phone calls and providing directions) may be limiting my chances. Despite having a high school diploma, I'm worried that my skills may not be sufficient to secure a remote job. Can you suggest any remote jobs that don't require a degree or extensive experience?

I have been job searching for a while and all the jobs I see are accounting/tax or insurance sales jobs that you need to pay an arm and a leg for getting licensed.

I'm not opposed to investing in a license once I know I'm good at something or like some so much to build on it. Thank you 😊

& where did you find your job bc i am struggling to land a remote role.

Hey everyone,

I’m based in the US and really want to find a part-time, work-from-home job that doesn’t require any prior experience or a degree. Every listing I’ve seen on LinkedIn and Indeed seems to ask for 2+ years of experience or some specific credential I don’t have, and it's frustrating.

I’m tired of stumbling on scam sites. Can anyone give me a legit platform for finding and applying to remote jobs?

I’m open to anything flexible: customer support, data entry, content moderation, virtual assistant work, or even simple typing jobs.

Also, has anyone landed a beginner-friendly remote role recently? Any companies or specific tips would be hugely appreciated too.

Thanks in advance :)

I apologize if this isn’t allowed, I can remove if it isn’t.

I don’t have a degree or any experience and was wondering what kinda remote jobs that are out there that I can do a training course online to gain experience into fast, or just easy to get into remote work I could look into?

I’ve done a bit of research, and I’m just curious what others advice is, or maybe can help brighten the options I could look into, to move towards that way.

If you work remote, what do you do? And how did you get started into getting into that career?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for legitimate part-time remote jobs that don't require any prior experience. I want to work only from home, not interested in anything that requires on-site visits or travel.

I'm open to anything flexible: customer support, data entry, content moderation, virtual assistant work, or even simple writing tasks. Just looking for something real and not scammy.

If you've had a good experience with any beginner-friendly remote job (or know someone who has), I would appreciate any suggestions or advice!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: Thought I’d edit the post in case it helps someone. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s working for me:

EliteSurveySites: I’ve experimented with a lot of side income ideas, and a few things finally started to click. One big breakthrough was using this site, they helped me find legit, better-paying survey platforms. In the beginning, I was barely earning anything, a few cents per survey, if that. But after sticking with it for a few weeks and being consistent, I now average over $1500/month from the recommended panels.

Fiverr: On the side, I’ve also been picking up small writing tasks, mostly short-form content like social media captions for LinkedIn and Instagram. That brings in an extra $200–$300 each month.

Beta Testing: Another thing that worked for me: giving honest feedback to startups. If you search Reddit or niche forums for phrases like “need testers”, you’ll find plenty of early-stage products looking for feedback. They usually pay around $10–$15 per session, and it’s pretty straightforward work.

Just sharing what’s worked for me so far, I’ll be sure to update the list if I find something else that works too.

I'm looking for legit remote jobs that does not require a degree. I'm currently working towards a degree and I currently just have an HS diploma. Any information would be helpful. Thank you all so much for the amount of replies!

Hellllo van people! I’m wondering if y’all have any advice on where to start with remote jobs. I don’t have a college degree and feel pretty lost in the realm of what I can do without one. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Edit: damn guys! :’) thank you so so much for all your ideas and input and links. You guys are the best, and I really appreciate you.

I’m new to looking for remote jobs. I’ve worked for a certain big blue USA retailer for almost nine years and the work morale is dying fast. I’m looking to get into remote work but don’t know where to start. Any ideas on where to start? For reference, i have a GED and have been in the customer service industry for almost nine years.

As the title says, I’m a former SAHM. My youngest is now 18 and off to college. I myself never completed college so I have no degree. Most of my adult life I was always home. Part of that is due to health issues and part was due to a controlling ex husband.

The few jobs I did have was mostly retail cashier but I’ve also done reception work. My health issues limit my mobility at times and affects my energy/stamina so it’s difficult to work at a brick and mortar business. That is why I’m looking for remote jobs.

A lot of jobs I’ve seen require X years of experience and/or degrees that I don’t have. Any suggestions on where I can look for no degree required remote positions?

I’m looking for any kind of remote job I can get as a college dropout. Does anyone know any places I can look for this or common jobs you can easily acquire in this circumstance? Sorry if this post is annoying or breaks the rules, I don’t use Reddit all that often.

Is it possible to get a remote job that is not too grueling without a degree? Currently I drive an hour both ways to work and would rather have something I could do at home. I am pretty proficient in Office 365 and IT and would be happy working a job related to those.

Hi, I am a 29F thinking to pursue a career in IT because I thought that it would be the best option if I want to work remotely.

The reason: I studied architecture back in univesity and since then have worked in various industry. I am now a mother and ideally I want to still be able to earn money while taking care of my daughter at home (the dream).

As someone who have never worked in IT industry I imagine that it's possible with IT jobs. BUT I know the reality is often far from what you imagine, so I want to ask out here.

The question:

1. Is it possible to have a remote IT job without a degree and/or with a late start?

2. If you are one of them, what career do you have and how do you achieve it?

3. How many hours do you work / week? And what is your day like?

I have never worked in IT industry so please don't be mean if in any point of this post something doesn't make any sense.

Also I am not a native english speaker so I apologize for any grammar mistake.

Thank you!!

Are there jobs for the unskilled?

I need a new direction and fast.

In short I have no degree, I’m not close to finishing, and prior work experience isn’t great.

I’m currently a 3rd shift janitor at a hospital and this isn’t sustainable. The dream is something remote online that pays about the same if not more as my current job. I am attempting to take Coursera classes in tech support but time for them is scarce.

Are there any jobs at hospitals, or decent remote work that pays at least $15hr that I can work towards quickly? I understand this is a huge probably impossible ask.

A little background; I am a late 20s guy in the U.S. with roughly 7 years experience in professional office environments, including call center, sales, legal assistance at a financial law firm and currently, accounting.

However I do not have a degree. I’ve leveraged experience to get here with just a high school diploma. No certs, nothing.

Unfortunately in 2024 it looks like the overwhelming majority of remote job listings are either for very low wage customer support ($15/hr) or 6 figure management positions which require advanced degrees. I’ve found virtually nothing in between. At least nothing I would qualify for.

In order to survive, I would need something very near my current salary, which is $60k.

Does anyone have advice or pointers of where to look?

Between the commute, toxic coworkers and mindless, mundane days that all blend together, I want out of my current role. Switching to remote work seems like the most plausible path for me to find happiness again.

I am willing to do hybrid and am not that picky on the wage. Just trying to get my foot in the door and start my path towards fully remote. I am going to start school in fall in hopes it helps me get creditials for a high paying job.

I got roped into data analytics because I heard it's a pathway you can always transfer to without a degree (not knowing that advice was outdated and flawed).

Are there any jobs like this that are ACTUALLY available in 2024-25? I don't care if we need to study and in fact I'd rather it be that way honestly.

Yes I know about help-desk jobs and I'm already applying for them.

(I am about to graduate with an associates soon)

(scroll for TLDR)

Hi Reddit community! I dont post on here ever, but this is truly a desperate time in my life. I can only really explain from the beginning. So I have worked many jobs over my lifetime (I am 27 years old). Have always had slight medical issues and mental health issues. Around 2020, my health began dwindling and my preexisting anxiety became much worse. I have severe cPTSD and panic disorder also. I stopped working in 2021 and unknowingly began years of constant doctors and medications. Without getting into too much of it, I am very prone to passing out. I was denied disability three times (surprise surprise lol) and then I learned about remote and work from home jobs because it was covid and all. So now I am in a position where I live with my bfs parents in New Jersey, but they are moving states away and we need to get jobs pretty urgently. I have been looking and applying for these jobs for well over a year with every single job site you can think of (I SWEAR you could name any of them and ive tried it) ive been browsing all the WFH subs and remote job subs and job boards (indeed, glassdoor, snagajob, monster, RRR, LinkedIn, ziprecruiter, flexjobs) with no avail. It is SO frustrating because I only have a high school diploma. I cannot go to college and theres a ton of certifications online but they require payment. I also smoke weed to manage my chronic physical and mental illnesses, so drug testing is unfortunately not an option unless THC is not screened. Now I DO have a TON of skills and could do a wide variety of jobs and I am so flexible with pay, I just need remote work. It is best for my scenario and it feels so impossible to acquire anything at all with no schooling and no experience and its unbelievably frustrating.

If anyone has ANY advice or anyone else is chronically ill also and has remote work I would very much appreciate it more than you know!! <3

TLDR: I live in New Jersey and have physical and mental health issues that require remote work(and I smoke weed for this), I have no degree, no certifications, no money, but I am autistic and learn things so fast that I feel like I could thrive at any work from home job.
