A college degree is a great asset when looking for a work at home job, and statistics show that people with higher levels of education make more money over the course of their lifetimes.
But the cost of college is skyrocketing, and for some people, the pursuit of a better education simply isn’t an option. As a result, you may find yourself in search of a work at home job that doesn’t require a degree.
Even if you do have the money to go to school (and that’s a pretty big “if”), you may also have a restrictive 40-hour a week day job that takes up most of your time along with a million other day-to-day responsibilities that are impossible to ignore.
It’s not easy to take time off for higher education when you have children to raise or a hefty mortgage waiting to be paid month after month.
Below, we’ll go over a pretty large list of work from home and/or flexible jobs with no college requirements so you can get a taste of various options.
Work at Home Jobs – No College Degree Required
1 – Cambly – ESL Tutoring
If you speak good English, there’s a pretty good chance you can get a job with Cambly.

Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it’s cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don’t like it, it’s very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
