Data entry jobs are mostly to do what computers can’t do on their own such as turning handwritten documents into digital files. The only requirements are having attention to detail, good English, and typing skills. Check out websites like Clickworker, and Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

10) Proofreading

Do you pay attention to detail and correct other people’s grammar all the time, even if only mentally? Being a proofreader might be a good choice as a side hustle during college, or it can even become your future career.
