One type of work that caught my interests is online tutoring. Once I read about it, I already saw myself doing online tutorship. Images of my past work as a tutor flashed back in my mind. To me it is a very fulfilling job, it is one of the things I like doing. It always makes me feel proud whenever I see my students succeed in an exam that we prepared for and especially when they express appreciation for that.

I was once upon a time an officer of our schools mechanical engineering society. Because of the large percentage of students having difficulty with major subjects, we saw the need for tutorship and I was volunteered by my co-officers to teach. We use to meet informally in certain places, or their own homes. If internet were commonplace during that time, we probably taught online.

Tutoring online has similar benefits with other online jobs.
