Are there any ‘easy’ remote jobs that still pay decently?

Remote virtual assistant here! Found a small biz client who pays $28/hr for 10-15 hrs a week. It’s admin work, not too bad, and super flexible.
I work remotely as a transcriptionist. Got in with decent typing speed and grammar. Not rich but $18–25/hr depending on speed. No boss breathing down your neck either.
Customer support email-only role saved me 😭 $21/hr, no phones, mostly Zendesk and templates. It’s repetitive but peaceful fr.
Not talking about “make $10k/week in your sleep” scammy stuff. I mean actual jobs with a W2 or solid freelance gigs where you’re not drowning in calls, Slack pings, and unrealistic deadlines every second. Something like data entry, support, maybe even AI stuff... idk, just not full-on burnout mode.
Everything I see is either super underpaid ($13/hr for full time??) or wants you to basically be a unicorn expert with 6+ years of experience. I’ve got decent computer skills, I’m organized, and I work hard. But I also just want to breathe. No shame in saying that anymore lol.
If anyone here is doing a remote gig that isn’t destroying their mental health and helps pay the bills, pls drop what it is 🙏 Trying to stay hopeful out here.
