Trying to find a new job. Any suggestions?

Hey there folks! I've got a bit of a conundrum, and I'm hoping someone out there might have some ideas. I'm on a search for a job, but due to a slew of health issues, not everything is on the table for me. Forgive me if I sound picky. I need to find something non-physical, due to muscle weakness. Work from home is ideal, but not required. I imagine some kind of desk job would be a good start? Data entry? All I have is an associates' in science and no professional experience doing things such as banking, IT, HR, etc., though I've done some very minor tech help and accounting (not enough to put on a resume, but figured it can't hurt to mention). I'm personable enough to be good at customer service, but the stress of dealing with angry people tends to make some diseases flare up after…


Hey there folks! I've got a bit of a conundrum, and I'm hoping someone out there might have some ideas.

I need to find something non-physical, due to muscle weakness. Work from home is ideal, but not required. I imagine some kind of desk job would be a good start? Data entry? All I have is an associates' in science and no professional experience doing things such as banking, IT, HR, etc., though I've done some very minor tech help and accounting (not enough to put on a resume, but figured it can't hurt to mention). I'm personable enough to be good at customer service, but the stress of dealing with angry people tends to make some diseases flare up after a time, so ideally not a call center or cold calling folks lol.

I learn fast and am good with technology on a surface level, so I'm hoping to do something more computer based without being like a full stack developer or anything senior or complex like that lol. I genuinely enjoy things that are the same every day, I don't need variety. In fact, the lack of variety day-to-day tends to make me happier!

Does anyone have any ideas for what kind of job titles or companies to begin my search for such a thing? I'm making $22/hr where I am now so I don't want to take too huge of a pay dip, but I'm willing to if it helps my health in the long run, because my current job is whooping my butt.

I figure getting connections is the best way to get a good start, and I've heard you guys on Reddit are a great resource. So show me what you've got! And thank you for any suggestions ahead of time! <3
