This is a great article about the jobs that are handed out today. I didn’t know what a Virtual Concierge was never mind what he/she did. But that’s cool that they can work from home and still be at the customers service whenever they need them. I also thought Mobile Application Developer was pretty cool, making apps for twitter and apple isn’t bad. Especially the pay that they receive, that’s pretty good. The other jobs on there aren’t bad at all either. They seem like semi easy but keep you busy jobs. Overall this was a good article; keep up the work and good luck on your final.
