Top 5 Jobs for Telework

Telework isn't for everyone. A factory worker, chef, elementary school teacher, airline pilot, or car mechanic would have a difficult time working from home on a regular basis - at least as their jobs are currently structured. Same for an astronaut, dog trainer, or anyone else with a hands-on sort of job description. Instead, telework is best suited for information-oriented jobs that rely heavily on the computer and telephone. These jobs might include writing, marketing, computer programming, engineering, accounting, legal work, etc.

Here are my top 5. How about you? Post yours in the comment area or link back from your blog, and we'll create a separate entry in a week or two with the best lists.

I've read where all of JetBlue's call center reservationists all work from home. Not sure if that is still true but it seems like a smart cost-saving move that opens them up to tap into talented stay-at-home moms and others who they normally could never get to work in those jobs.

Wow. That is so interesting. Is there any information on the web about that program?
