9 work-from-home jobs with 6-figure salaries
Working from home has its pros and cons.
Cons: it gets lonely, and sometimes you can go for days without leaving the house. Also, if you’re not generally a disciplined person, things can pile up and get away from you. On the other hand, you might find you work far too many hours. You expect to have great work-life balance, and instead wind up longing for an office where you can leave work behind.
If you can make it work for you, though, there are a lot of perks: no commute, flexible hours, and no need to get out of bed (except to get coffee). And more and more, working from home can be lucrative too. Flex Jobs, a resource for part time, freelance, telecommuting, and flexible jobs, compiled a list of the highest paying work from home jobs.
