Is there a way to make money with my skill of being able to type fast?

May 25, 2011 9:38am CST
Hey im currently a college student and im pretty lazy so getting a job aswell as getting qualifications and have recreation time is not appealing to me. Is there some way i can use my skill of relativly fast typing to get a easy-ish job such as data entry or something of the sort? i can write 88 Words per Minute without making mistakes and if i was to type to my full speed and just use Spell checker at the end of the typing session i can push to about 105 Words per Minute. I know this isnt amazingly fast, but its faster than average and i am looking for a way to use this skill for my benefit. I also ask this question because others may be in the same posistion. Just for additional info i am 17 and in the UK. So please share any help you have and if you too have this problem. Thanks! - Mypalzadin

Do you think you'd be good at transcribing? I'm about to start a new job working for a transcription company called Scribio. You should check the company out. They pay $10 per hour. I'm not sure though, if they hire from the UK, so do a check.
