Summer jobs are a major part of the college experience. When you don’t have to worry about the stress of classes, you can use the extra time to build up your bank account.
However, COVID-19 changed everything. Many local businesses stopped hiring due to the lack of customers. And even if a place is hiring, you may not want to leave the safety of social isolation to make some money.
Fortunately, you can have it both ways by working from home. And we’ve assembled the best possible remote summer jobs for college students.
Blogging and Social Media Management
You spend a lot of time writing college essays. Why not use those writing skills to make some money? By writing blogs for other sites or starting your own blog, you can create a fun and fulfilling stream of income.
If you live online but don’t want to blog, you can always become a social media manager and help promote someone’s brand. Trust us: you already have more social media skills than most traditional companies will ever have, and they’re looking for talent just like you.

Online College Counselor
You’ve probably already experienced colleges shift to online classes. However, moving everything online doesn’t mean that students don’t still need help outside the classroom!
That’s why an online college counselor position may be perfect for you. Most of this job revolves around walking students through basic skills, unexpected challenges, and class-related stress. And even if you can’t snag a counselor job at your existing school, you may find a gig at a 100% online university.
Teach English Online
Chances are you never imagined yourself teaching other students. But what if you could teach the one thing you’ve completely mastered?
English as a Second Language teachers are needed all over the world, and most of the best teachers work remotely. You could teach students across the world without leaving your couch.
And you don’t have to be the English teacher’s pet to get these gigs. Many ESL courses focus more on conversational English than perfect grammar.
