Where can I find "low-tech" jobs online?

http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/topic.py?dep_id=1094&loc_id=1628 I've been doing this for a couple months now. Work is easy, hours flexible, and it's pretty interesting. Her language skills and advanced degree should make her a shoo-in. Pay is around $15 and hour. Actual employer is a temp agency, but their checks are good, so no complaints.

I'm a translator. I don't think of it as "low-tech." I think of ditch-digging as low-tech (then again, those ditch-witches are pretty cool). Anyhow, I would think that someone with formal medical training and language skills could do quite well as a translator. Translating is a skill unto itself, and not something she'll necessarily posess, but if she's good at it, that would be a good option. There would probably be more demand for G>E translation than E>G. How's her English writing ability? Your profile doesn't say where you are. If you're in the USA (actually, even if you're not), she could join the http://atanet.org/ as a way to make contacts; there may be a local chapter with meetings she could attend, and there's an annual ATA convention that is a major schmoozefest, and would be a perfect networking opportunity for her.

cosmicbandito, thaks for the link. However, it applies only to United States and Canada and we are living in Switzerland (I should have probably mentioned this in the original post). Too bad, it would have been interesting.

She's had a baby, not a brain removal. Doing low-tech unskilled labour, not only will her skills degrade, she'll be making a fraction of what she could earn if you both thought more creatively about finding her some work.

zadcat, this would be only temporary until the baby is at least 6-8 months old so that he can eat something else than breast milk. And I said "low-tech" because I didn't know any better :-). Observe the quotes. Can you please give me an example of creative thinking? We are willing to search for any type of work-from-home that matches her skills then choose from there what would be the best alternative. I hope that now it's understood what I meant by "low-tech", I certainly didn't mean to offend translators, or medical transcriptionists, or nobody for that matter. I have much respect even for the guy who picks the garbage than for the people who prefer to do nothing and live on wellfare.

[I think the term you might have wanted is low-impact?]

My mother's boss (an Orthopaedic surgeon) does quite a bit of consulting for lawyers involved in claims involving medical injury. Granted he has to go to court to testify quite a bit which your wife may not be able to do but I'm sure there are aspects of this that can be done purely from home like analysing medical reports for lawyers or insurance claims?

Would she be interested in teaching or consulting? She could give medical talks at community centres, teach courses at your local university or act as a consultant for companies, law firms, and other organizations. Then she could earn more like $75-$200 an hour. I've been a consultant for many years, and, since having my son, I've been thrilled with how efficient it is, in terms of dollars per hour.

I wonder who does the writing for websites like http://www.webmd.com. Seems like a work-from-home-on-your-own-time job that might be perfect for a doctor?
