Prosper With Wayne – Creating Health, Wealth & Happiness
7 Boring Online Jobs That Pay Surprisingly Well
This episode breaks down seven remote career paths that most people overlook because they do not sound glamorous, but can pay well and offer real stability. Wayne Sutton argues that “boring” can be profitable, especially when the role solves an expensive problem and competition is low.
He walks through each job, the skills they require, and why they matter in today’s economy. The throughline is simple: do not choose a career based only on excitement, choose one based on demand, value, and fit.
Key topics
Wayne Sutton frames the episode around a contrarian career idea: boring jobs often have less competition and more reliable income.
Funeral and pre-need sales can pay roughly $50,000 to $90,000, but require emotional maturity, listening, and comfort with difficult conversations.
Technical writers turn complex information into clear guides, manuals, and documentation, with median pay around $90,000.
Documentation and SOP writing is becoming more valuable as companies realize critical knowledge often lives in one employee’s head.
AI can assist with drafting and organizing procedures, but humans still need to verify accuracy and usability.
Database administration is a more technical path with median compensation over $100,000, but it requires real skill in SQL, security, cloud systems, and troubleshooting.
Remote sales can be lucrative for people who can handle discovery, pitching, and follow-up, but Wayne warns about hype and poor hiring in the space.
Lead management coordination is an accessible entry point for organized people who can protect revenue by making sure leads are tracked and followed up.
Medical coding is presented as a stable remote option in healthcare, with the added benefit that the industry is unlikely to disappear.
The bigger lesson is not about the seven jobs themselves, but about choosing work based on demand, skill-building, and the life you want to create.
