Most cushy WFH roles pay the same nationally regardless of where the worker lives. A small minority of employers (mostly tech and high-cost-of-living based) adjust by metro — those rates are reflected in our top-paying-cities table above.
For agent / sales roles: yes — typically a state P&C (Property & Casualty) license, sometimes life/health. Most major carriers (Allstate, Progressive, USAA) pay for your study materials, exam fees, and training time as a new hire — you don't pay for licensing yourself.
Licensed claims adjuster pays $24–$36/hr, a notch above general customer service ($19–$26). Both pay above the broader cushy WFH average. Licensed sales agents on commission can exceed $40/hr equivalent in good months but with quota pressure that cushy seekers often want to avoid.
