Anybody got some recommended resources for someone looking to transition from a manual labor job to something that offers the option to work remotely. Been meaning to do this for years, frankly, but current events make it even more important for my mental/physical health. Programming/etc specifically, sorry I can't be more specific rn, frankly I dunno what I'm even looking for.
@cxcf Depending on the kind of labour, it may work well to look at where you are, and how to get there from here. For example: it may be easier to pick up project management skills and translate those to office scenarios. Or, depending on what you do, accounting. Or graphic arts, or user interface design.
It all really depends, but these ideas may be helpful to you.
@cxcf Addendum:
If your kind of manual labour is machinist-type stuff, you might be able to get into engineering design, which is something else that can be done remotely. Some kinds of chemistry too - but then, there's also potential for something where you can do piecework. There are quite a few people with electronics chops who build kits for musicians... it really depends on your skills.
