Disabled - help me think of a career?

[Ruger22C]

Given your disability you must be on disability or SSI? If so I bet there are all KINDS of scholarships out there that you can apply for to go to school. If you know PHP and the like I would shoot for Visual C or C++. I would love to know that, but I even struggle with PHP. I can edit things using examples on the net, but the logic behind it all esacpes me. I really need to take a class. Given your situation I would get into programming. All you have to do is type if that's something you want to do. Something computer related.

Edit- Okay you can get up to a bachelors degree. What's wrong with that? Why do you need a masters?

Can't type for long, I had two job offers for programming and then hurt myself. I Loved programming, though.
I get SSI+DAC.

I don't need a masters, just clarifying my options.
What job can I get with a bachelors, that I'll be able to do?

Could you actually use a speaking program to program with? I mean saying left carrot, right carrot, exclamation mark might suck though.

That's prolonged keyboard use.

Yeah, I already considered it and it's not reasonable (And TMJD). Plus you get into capitalization mid-name, and then names aren't to be spaced, etc.
But programming is mostly research and cross-referencing/analyzing/Navigation, and Dragon has very limited use in the latter.

Like someone mentioned before, get Dragon, and look for a medical transcription position you can work from home.

Just want to wish you the best, OP. What OverVolt said about chronic inflammation sounds logical, hope those issues can be overcome.

Any kind of office assistant type job. Answering telephones somewhere or making calls somewhere. Janitorial work would probably be within your capabilities, or at least it's lower impact than a couple of the jobs you say you've already gone out for.

ever thought about day trading(stock market) start off small enough so as not to hurt you money wise,learn as you go . I know several guys who started that way and do well . They have bad days as well as good days . If you do a lot of research,I think you could do that .

Can't have over 2k in assets, or I lose my health insurance.

I don't think it's "dying," just very very competitive. Anyone with an iPhone is now a "photographer."

If you think about it, what separates a professional photographer from a hobbyist?

As far as I can tell, the difference is a client-base and income. Doesn't matter if you're "professional" or even that good. As long as you take pictures and people are willing to pay for them or look at them, you're a "pro."
