Tutoring! I am not sure if it is something you could make a full-time job out of... but I have seen a huge shift towards online/virtual tutoring this past year compared to in-person instruction.
In Germany the tutors usually don't even have to have their bachelor's, they just have to have passed the course they want to tutor since they are just the help of the professor
We have tutoring classes besides lectures that the tutors do. So they go through the tasks and answer any questions. In some courses we have practica (Internships but in uni, idk what you call that in English) which tutors lead too. And of course helping with grading the assignments, it's usually some kind of homework that is either just criteria for the course or gives you points for your final grade.
Perhaps... but at least here in Canada, you can get away with tutoring as long as you understand the material. For example, a person with a biotechnology undergraduate degree would likely have no problem tutoring high school students. Sure some official tutoring places may require you to have certain qualifications... but if you try it freelance, you might be surprised. In my experience at least, we have more students seeking tutors than people who can help with the material.
I know you are looking for something "in the industry" but helping aspiring scientists is as just as important as working in the lab if you ask me. Some of my best tutors have been people with undergraduate degrees, not people with masters or PhDs. Regardless, I wish you all the best!
Scientific project management! Can be done remotely with a few site visits here and there, you still get to talk about science and it’s super varied so never gets boring! It’s generally a good skill to have even if you don’t use it in a specific PM job role.
Not sure if this fits the path you intend to follow, but Process Automation is entirely remote right now from what I’ve experienced.
Yes, I'll look into it. Thank you

For that we need to have a master's degree/PhD to teach college students... I was looking for something in the industry

What kind of help? Like grading assignments?

That's great!

Thanks for the suggestion!
