When classes are in session, you're devoting almost all your free time to them. If you're not actively doing an assignment, you're probably studying for an upcoming quiz or test. School is exhausting on its own, so it’s understandable that many students wait until the summer to work.

For those who are more ambitious and want to use their free time to their advantage, you might be interested in having multiple jobs. However, figuring out a schedule that works for two different positions can get complicated.

Restaurant and retail shifts are always being dropped and picked up, and many places don’t release a schedule until the last minute. This can make it difficult to coordinate your jobs, let alone think about taking a vacation while the weather is still nice.

Why not consider an online job instead? If you ever have to leave town, you can take your work with you as long as you have an internet connection. Setting up your hours will be much more flexible, and if you get used to the swing of things, you might even be able to continue working into the school year.

Here are six completely remote summer jobs that could be a good fit for you.

1. Transcriptionist: $15/hour

While you're sitting in a lecture class, do you take notes while you listen? Are they accurate? If this is a skill you have, you might want to think about becoming a transcriptionist.

You'll get assignments where you have to type out what you hear in each audio file, then submit your work. This is the perfect position for anyone who can type quickly and accurately — but be prepared only to be able to do your work with headphones on.

2. Virtual Call Center Agent: $7-15/hour

There are plenty of people who work in offices, answering phones and helping customers find solutions to their problems, but it’s also a position you can do from home.

All you have to do after landing the job is be ready and available for phone calls during your set work hours.

Lots of companies hire people for virtual call center agents — even big ones like Apple. Already have customer service experience? That’ll help you get your foot in the door!

3. Search Engine Evaluator: $12-15/hour

The internet is a big place, which means there can never be enough people to help run statistics and analyze the data that is constantly refreshing. That’s what’s made the search engine evaluator position open up as one of the hot online summer jobs for students.

In this position, you’ll work with search engine companies to evaluate their current algorithms and report any errors you find. Because you’ll be reading search queries, you don’t need any computer science knowledge to fill this role.

3. Online Tutor: $13-20+/hour

Maybe you’re an upperclassman college student looking for extra cash. Why not put what you’ve already learned to good use? Online tutoring is a popular online job for college students.

There are multiple platforms available, or you can even start your own tutoring business and advertise online. Many students need help with their school work or are looking to go more in-depth with their assignments, so it's a job worth trying if you think you would enjoy it.

4. Virtual Assistant: $5-60/hour

Successful students are good at scheduling out time for assignments and communicating through the written word, which means you’ve already got the skills you need to be a virtual assistant.

If you already have general office skills, you could earn even more. Website owners and bloggers are always looking for people to help with their workload, such as writing emails and managing social media accounts.

5. Data Entry Clerk: $9-15/hour

A simple position you could consider even if you’ve never had a job before is a data entry clerk. As long as you have a computer and a reliable internet connection, you’ve met the skills criteria. The job consists of entering data into a spreadsheet or document, but this can vary depending on what company you work for.

One thing to consider before signing up for clerk positions is that scams can follow where the job posts lead. Do your research on what companies you apply to before agreeing to anything.

You may be looking at your free time this summer and thinking about all the money you could earn with it if you could find a job. For people who live in small towns or cities that just aren't hiring, this can be incredibly frustrating. If there are only a few businesses where you live, it can feel like you're out of options.

Thanks to the internet, that’s no longer the case — there are tons of online positions you can check out if you want to work from the comfort of your own home.

Remote gigs often have very flexible schedules you can easily fit into your life — even if you already have another job or two lined up.

The catch is making sure the job posts you look at aren’t scams. Those posts will often ask for money before telling you if you’re hired, or worse — claim they need your bank information in order to give you the job.

Don’t let the scammers scare you away, though!

Plenty of legitimate online jobs are out there for students like you who want to earn some extra cash before classes start back up again in the fall. You might even find you’ll be able to do the work you get in-between homework sessions at the library once the semester starts again.
