Matt’s Review:

I don’t know if those are really the highest-paying remote jobs. I thought she was gonna go down more of a career path. Like you know if you’re a computer science graduate and you have a lot of years of experience programming. And you get a remote computer programming job that might pay $125,000 a year or something. I think that beats all of the things that she just recommended. She was going more down the hourly job. That you can do with little or no experience, fully remote. Great. I think a lot of those are probably limited opportunities. I don’t know how many customer service people Tesla needs for social media. Or the UPS needs for data entry. I also don’t know why, I mean, if I was Yelp I could probably find much cheaper overseas people to screen reviews for spam than paying US rates. So I don’t know how many of those jobs they need. But anyway I mean there at least potentially legitimate jobs, legitimate companies that you, you know, actually could apply for and get. If those jobs aren’t already filled or not limited the number of jobs. Which is better than a lot of the opportunities that people post here. Where it’s you know “pay me money for a course where I tell you then how to do something that’s gonna be almost impossible to do or is never gonna work.” So at least these seem like legitimate jobs that you could do from home with not a ton of experience. If you can get them. And if they’re, you know, any still available. So still not maybe the life-changing career that you were hoping for. Or the business you’d like to be able to start instead of just, you know, working doing data entry or review spam cleaning. It’s more of a short-term opportunity than a real life-changing long-term opportunity.
