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.

    Federal jobs are borderline impossible to get unless you get points or are very qualified. I know a ton of people who can’t even get an interview because there are so many applicants who get veterans preferences and stuff who end up ahead of them in line. I’m still kicking myself for not applying for anything when I was married to a guy in the military because it’s probably the only way I’d ever even get seen.
