When people think of work from home jobs, several “typical” job types come to mind: customer service, information technology, and blogging just to name a few. But over the last decade, telecommuting jobs have grown 41%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and the variety of jobs that can be done from home is quite surprising.

Here are ten real work from home jobs that you may not have thought about before. And if you don’t see a job that sparks your interest on this list, keep in mind that if your work is mainly done using computers, phones, or other means of remote communication, it can probably be done from home too.
