You were disabled and realize it is not getting better, and no one seems to be able to fix the issue. You’re stuck laying down most of the day, you have enough mobility to function at home, but anything outside of home leaves you in bad shape beyond your control where you are not professionally functional. What do you do to earn a living and survive?
This is not a hypothetical for me.
IT work from home. You can get certs and take courses almost completely online and you can do it relatively quickly
Edit: A degree is also not mandatory as long as you have some certifications
