Welcome! I am also interested in data entry as a job.
Thanks!
I've honestly found, after trying all sorts of different jobs over the last 8 years, that data entry and AS is a perfect match, more so if you're inclined to computers as I am. One place I used to work at was an insurance place, and after only 1 week in training, they moved me out on the floor. Quota for permanent employees was 200 claims a day, I was doing 250 - 300 2 weeks into the gig. My supervisor called me the best data entry person she's ever had, "He just does his work! He doesn't sit around talking with everyone else or goofing around on the internet."
Depending on what's available, you might get sent to a financial data entry job, my data entry has a been mostly medical, but I did temp at Intuit a few years ago, but decided to move and of course had to find a new job. NT's tend to find data entry as boring, and although it can be at times, it's great if you're into numbers and trends. I find myself looking up a patient, matching their birthday, and thinking "This person is X years older/younger than me. Who was president at the time, and how far along were computers at that time". The time just flies by.
Give it a try guy.
