So I developed a chronic illness years ago. It makes working outside the house pretty much impossible for me. I ran my own business for a good while, but it’s struggling. I have all kinds of random skills and abilities, but I don’t really see how they fit together in the context of employed work, so for all intents and purposes, I would have to consider myself as someone with little experience regardless of what I might do.
In the meantime, I’ve been studying web development, and that’s probably what I’m going to try to do, but I was just wondering what other realistic possibilities are there out there for someone in my situation? I just want to see if there’s anything I’m not considering.
Customer service is probably the easiest entry level remote job to get, but quite soul sucking—especially if they make you use a script. One suggestion I can offer is grant writing if you’re okay at crafting an argument. You can find small local orgs who will let you help write to get some experience then apply for jobs that pay decently.
