Your Questions About Online Writing Jobs For Teachers

Excellent writing skills; possible jobs?

To put it plain and simple.. I have excellent writing/grammar skills. I've had English teachers, friends, and family members all tell me that they love to read anything I write. I had a teacher accuse me of plagiarism because I have a very distinct way of wording my sentences and he didn't believe I was that smart.

I am wondering what careers I should be looking into? Anything I could do online would be great because I have a two year old and will need to be working as a waitress also. Take into consideration that I have a high school diploma, did not take Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, or anything in that field. I slacked in school and am paying for it now because I won't be able to go to a four year..

Thanks in advance for your time!
How does saying I'm really good at English make me arrogant? I am terrible at math and science but yep, I am really good at writing. And, no, I am not at all an arrogant person.

Becoming an elementary school teacher online-can I really do this-can you suggest a school for me online?

I am a 26 year old, totally single mom (no dad in picture) of a hyper, beautiful, brilliant, high maintanance 3 year old girl whose my world:) We live in northern New Jersey and I work full time and am tired, lol, but I want to finish college. I'd like to become an elementary school teacher (though I also just wrote a book and love writing, but I want a realistic back-up), but I don't really have much energy or time to GO to school and sit through a class for a couple hours a night, plus its hard to find someone to watch my daughter at night, so I was looking at online schools. I looked at University of Pheonix, Grand Canyon University, and a bunch of other schools who offer classes to become a teacher.

I personally think Pheonix and Grand Canyon looked the best, but what school would you reccomend? Do you know anyone who finished a degree online? Where'd they go?

Is it truly possible to get my teaching degree online? I know I'll have to finish up off-line, but can I do most of it online?

Do you know what else I'd need to get certified when I'm done with school?

Will I be given the same respect other teachers get who went to actual classes not online? Will it be harder for me to find a job or will it not matter as long as my GPA is good and I have all the requirements for NJ?

I know this is a long shot, but are any of you or were any of you an elementary school teacher in NJ who could offer any advice of any kind about this?

I know I'm asking a lot but any help would be great-I don't expect all my questions answered by everyone-I just need some guidance about the online schooling and whatever words you have to offer
for my situation and what I'm asking. Anything you know about this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

P.S. If it matters, I can't move away from here (Northern NJ) because my family lives here as does my very trusted babysitter-my mom-and my daughters preschool which we both adore, so don't bother suggesting another state to work in! Thank you:)

Is this in the right category?

How can I make myself stand out as an applicant for a teacher job?

I am applying for teaching jobs in several districts in Ohio and I want to know how I can make myself stand out so I get an interview. Most of my applications are done online but some are written.

8. Teacher

From postsecondary education to elementary schools, there are opportunities for students to learn virtually. Along with that, come opportunities to teach (and tutor) virtually. While distance learning is not new, advanced technology, collaborative multimedia software designed for schools and high-speed Internet connections have created more opportunities for teachers and students to work together from afar, says Fell. Durst has also noticed more teacher jobs being posted, and she knows of one professor who works mainly online and makes six figures -- although income "depends on how many hours you're applying to it and the type of classes you're teaching." A resource center for online teaching jobs is available at GetEducated.com.

9. Writer/Editor

Yes, the print publishing industry has been suffering, but Durst is seeing frequent listings these days for writing, editing and proofreading, particularly for the Web. Even those without writing experience can join the b
Well this really isn't a question, but i browse through this category and see many people in search of jobs in which people are interested in working from home. 9 times out of 10, those online opportunities are SCAMS! So i decided to post this article i found featured on yahoo to show some of you LEGIT opportunities that are online. Please tell me what you think. Comments? Concerns? Let me know!! Thanks.

1. Virtual Assistant

This is a field with much potential, in part because the title description covers many things. "You can fit your offerings to what you know how to do," says Foster. One can own a virtual assistant business or work from home for a company that makes you available to other employees or clients. Homewiththekids.com, for example, currently features a dozen such companies. Small businesses hire virtual assistants to help when they can't justify a permanent employee. The International Virtual Assistants Association, which Durst co-founded in the 1990s, began with 28 members and has grown to more than 600, who charge from $15 per hour to more than $100 per hour.

2. Medical Transcriptionist

As Foster knows, being a medical receptionist is a demanding job, and nearly every company listed on her site seeks applicants with experience and/or training from certain schools. The work involves listening to and typing up dictation from doctors -- some of whom have difficult accents, slur words together, and even "eat, drink, chew gum (and) talk to other people in the room" while dictating, she says. But hearing about medical matters can be interesting, and good transcriptionists are in very high demand. Expect initial earnings of less than $10 per hour, but some transcriptionists earn $20 or more per hour.

3. Translator

Those with fluency in more than one language translate audio files or documents, not just word for word but often with cultural differences in mind. "Companies can access home-based translators with hard-to-find language skills without being held back by geographic location," says Fell.

Foster's site lists 15 companies that seek home-based translators. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook 2008-09, which groups translators and interpreters, notes a projected employment increase of 24 percent over the 2006-to-2016 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations.

The national mean hourly wage for translators and interpreters was $20.74, with a mean annual wage of $43,130 as of May 2008, according to estimates by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some industries pay significantly higher, with the highest paying jobs generally in the management, scientific and technical consulting services areas, in which the mean hourly wage was $56.50 and the annual mean wage was $117,530.

4. Web Developer/Designer

Information technology is the sector, Durst says, where most of the home-based hiring is being done. Terri Orlowski, a virtual assistant and Web developer based in Ledyard, Conn., offers services such as custom Web site design, template modification and redesigns, code updates, hosting, and usability reviews. She previously held administrative positions in a variety of industries, and makes a higher per-hour rate now. The job is in high demand. Of the more than 15,000 new monthly work-from-home job postings on Odesk.com, Web developers are in the greatest demand, says spokeswoman Elizabeth Gordon. A list of companies that post at-home tech jobs is available at ratracerebellion.com.

5. Call Center Representative

When you phone to order something from a catalog or infomercial, a big office with rows of cubicles may come to mind. But the person on the other end of the line is likely to be sitting in a home office. "It's a huge and growing industry," says Durst of companies that hire independent contractors to take calls from home. She says the "home-shore movement" started in response to complaints about the many companies that looked offshore for workers. While some Web sites, such as Alpineaccess.com, actually hire representatives, most use subcontractors. Just be aware that the pay may be by the minute rather than by the hour, so you may not be paid for time you spend waiting by the phone. A list of companies that hire call center reps can be found at Homewiththekids.com.

6. Tech Support Specialist

Call centers also hire technical support specialists to work remotely. Kate Lister, co-author of "Undress for Success: The Naked Truth About Making Money at Home," names it as one of her top three "best-bet work-at-home jobs." And according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, jobs for computer support specialists (on-site and remote combined) were expected to increase by 13 percent from 2006 to 2016 -- much faster than the average for all occupations -- with 71,000 new jobs.

7. Travel Agent

Scams abound in the travel industry -- particularly organizations that charge for information on how to break into the field. Bu
