I'm self-employed as a book indexer. Most people never know what that means Basically, if you look in the back of textbooks, you find an index. I compile those.

I work from home, have been doing it since 1988 and it's not a bad life. It pays pretty well (though it takes a long time to get established). I work mostly in law and social sciences, though I have done lots of other things too.

There's a Society of Indexers - https://www.indexers.org.uk if you want to know more about it.
