If you are an accomplished typist – word processor and have recently visited your local 4-year university librarian, you can apply as a "certified" graduate typist, earning between $1.50 to $2.00 per page for typing a master or doctoral thesis. The librarian will ask the following questions in order to qualify you as a "certified" typist:

(1) Are you familiar and have a working knowledge of Microsoft Word?

(2) Are you able to set up section breaks along with appropriate placement of auto page numbering in the footer/header?

(3) Are you familiar with setting up a scheme with emphasis on the proper use of auto numbering, such as 1., 1.1, (a), (i), etc.?

(4) Do you have access to a scanner with built-in OCR sofware?

(5) Do you have access to a high-speed laser quality printer?

If you answer all the above questions in the affirmative, the librarian will provide you with a sample of the typing format template (i.e., margin settings, font selection, page set up, etc.) in order to complete these projects.

The librarian will then place your name on a list of "certified" graduate typists. This "certified’ list will be given to various department heads so that any graduate student seeking your services can easily contact you directly from this list.

An average weekend income is about $300-$400 for two days of work.

Good luck!
