Echo what Aspiring said about data entry, as it opens up plenty of opportunity for freelance work if you've got some basic scripting skills.
(if you're going to write a program to do your job, though, remember to check your workstation and environment for snooping, work on a Flash drive (not on your workstation's hard drive) and when you present Program-That-Does-My-Work-A-Thousand-Times-Faster-Than-I-Can.exe to the boss, make sure you get at least a couple of grand for it, 'cause you can bet pounds to pennies that you'll end up making yourself redundant)
(or, write the script and be sneaky about running it, then spend the days working on your own projects while also being paid to sit there and pretend to work)
(God I love being such a filthy little mercenary who revels in exploiting (and correcting (but only if they're nice to me)) the ignorance of larger companies)
(and brackets, they're nice too)
