I got thinking about this job due to my oldest sister. You see, she is a work at home computer programmer, and not a freelance one. She has a regular employer.<\/p>\n

As with many work at home jobs, this can be done as an employee or purely freelance. You might telecommute part time and be in an office the rest of the time. But as computer programming really doesn’t require a lot of face to face interaction, it’s about perfect for working from home.<\/p>\n

Qualifications\/Training Needed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to have the skills for the particular type of programming you’re going to do. In many cases, a college degree is necessary.<\/p>\n

Job Duties<\/strong><\/p>\n

Programmers will generally have to code, test and debug according to the needs of their employers. You may be modifying existing programs or helping to start an entirely new program.<\/p>\n

Even from home, you are often a part of a team of programmers working together on a particular project. You will need to know how to cooperate and plan as necessary with your fellow programmers.<\/p>\n

Equipment Needed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your basic needs will of course be a computer and a high speed internet connection. You may also use programs such as Skype<\/a> to keep in contact with your employer and coworkers.<\/p>\n

Where to Search for Jobs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not all of these sites focus on jobs you can do from home, but it’s worth searching all around when you want to work from home.
