Pearson Is Hiring People to Work From Home and Type the Things Kids Say

Editor’s note: These jobs fill up quickly! If the position you’re interested in isn’t available, we recommend searching for other work-from-home jobs in your area through ZipRecruiter.

Kids say the darndest things.

And if you love listening to those things, this job might be for you.

In this part-time job with educational service provider Pearson, you’ll get paid to transcribe responses from students in grades 2 through 12.

If you’ve ever tried to follow the train of thought and malapropisms of a second-grader, you know this job requires not only a meticulous attention to detail but also some patience.

Linguistics and/or language education is one of the prerequisites for this temporary gig, because like any good education system, there is a test (for transcription and writing).

You also must be available to work a minimum of 20 hours per week with the option to work up to 40.

Not the job for you? No worries, there are plenty of other gigs on our Facebook Jobs page. We post new opportunities there all the time.
