Hey, frens. I was talking to a relative I hadn't seen in a very long time. She is now retired but having worked mostly in sales doesn't have a good retirement scheme. She wants to continue working, but needs to do so from home and asked if I knew of anything she could do. I really don't. Do any of you have any suggestions for something a nice, reliable lady could do? She didn't finish college so she doesn't have a degree, but she's sharp and gets things done. With so many employers needing dependable help, surely there must be something for her. Please post any ideas you have. Thanks!

If I was talking to her in person I’d ask about her skill sets and computer literacy. I’ve even had at home job offers for making Minecraft mod assets despite just being a graphic designer, so you really can do a lot of unexpected tasks for a full time job. Thus, picking based on existing skills or interests is likely to bear fruit.
A ton of home jobs revolve around having one or two computer skills you are exceptional at. For example: Knowing Quick Books Online can get you into at home VA work for small businesses because they need help imputing information for the actual accountants to make use of.
I also know a woman who bakes sourdough bread for an at home income, small southern town so you’d think there wouldn’t be enough demand. But frankly, it seems a lot of people agree grocery store bread sucks and local bakeries only do sweets anywhere near us.
You can make great wages during election season if you’re willing to cold call for any major organization, ones with good software can help a caller be hyper efficient and making great money per hour is doable.
Thank you! I don't think she's all that computer proficient (she's older and didn't grow up with it) but she's smart and I think she could learn any program she put her mind to, so I will tell her about the Quick books gig. I appreciate all the ideas. She is so lovable, I really want to help her if I can. Thanks.
