FlexJobs Highlights 10 Full-Time, Employee-Level, 100% Remote Jobs for Professionals with Associate's Degrees

BOULDER, Colo., June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a tight labor market, companies may favor less stringent education requirements in an effort to access a greater pool of qualified candidates. In fact, research by PayScale found that 50 percent of employers surveyed said they are hiring more employees with no formal college education and 69 percent reported that their organization prioritizes skills over formal education or degrees when hiring new employees. To demonstrate the remote job opportunities available to professionals without bachelor's degrees, such as those with associate's degrees, FlexJobs has identified 10 full-time, employee-level, 100% remote jobs open to workers with an associate degree-level education.

"A bachelor's degree is often held up as the golden ticket to finding one's dream job, but as this list of remote jobs demonstrates, there are great opportunities to work from home for people that also hold associate degrees," said Sara Sutton, CEO & Founder of FlexJobs. "As the remote work trend continues to grow, flexible job opportunities for people across all education levels will continue to expand as well," Sutton concluded.

These fully remote positions include a range of industries such as healthcare, finance, administrative, computer & IT, sales, customer service, and marketing. The job listings below meet the following criteria:

    --  Requires at most an associate's degree (or equivalent years experience)
    --  Full-time schedule
    --  100% remote work
    --  Employee role (not freelance or contract)
