What skills/types of job will allow a coder to work from home?

Hi,

One of the reasons I just got started learning on Treehouse is because I like the potentiality of working from home. But I do not know what types of jobs (and skills that are most in demand for these kinds of jobs) are the most location independent. I would really like to get more information on this. For example, would PHP and MySQL skills more relevant than CSS, etc.? I would really appreciate if anyone has good knowledge to share about this.

In addition, I saw on a different posting that there is PHP, Zend framework(?) skills that seems to very location independent and good paying. Did I interpret that right?

Thanks :)

Take a look at the jobs listed on this site We Work Remotely, and you'll have a pretty good idea what kind of skills are in-demand for remote works.
