Part-time, flexible, remote, and telecommute jobs are the types of positions that best support the balance between work and family. As more employers adopt flexible work options, opportunities for high paying, part-time jobs have increased as well.

To demonstrate that jobs requiring advanced education, skill, and knowledge can also have part-time schedules, FlexJobs identified 10 flexible, high paying, professional level jobs for experienced candidates to consider. Each of the jobs mentioned requires less than 40 hours per week, along with advanced experience and education. Additionally, they each have a pay rate of at least $50 per hour, which translates annually to $104,000 in a full-time role.

Family and Work-Life Balance

 

“Part-time work is sometimes associated with less professional, lower paying jobs, but, as this list indicates, that isn’t necessarily true,” said Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs, in a released statement. “The opportunities for high paying part-time jobs span industries and positions, while still offering competitive salaries. The flexibility professional part-time jobs offer provides workers the opportunity to practice within their chosen profession and maintain their skills, without the time commitment of a full-time role and a massive disruption to their income.”

According to FlexJobs, in a recent survey of over 3,000 professionals, 48% expressed interest in part-time work. What’s more, since 2013, the top four reported reasons why people sought out flexible work and part-time jobs were:

  1. Commute stress (47%)
  2. Time savings (48%)
  3. Family (52%)
  4. Work-life balance (79%)

FlexJobs also identified the top 35 companies hiring part-time, remote workers in 2016, as well as hot categories for flexible jobs that can pay over $50,000. Based on listings by FlexJobs and other sites, like Monster.com, here are some flexible jobs that tend to pay well:
