What kind of career can I do?
Post Body

I just got divorced after 18 years together. I have kids and I have chronic fatigue and pain. I've mostly been a mom for the past 2 decades. Many years ago I went to school for Human Services (but didn't finish my degree) and I worked in daycares, then I got a job at an office, because the schedule was flexible and allowed me to work around my kids schedule. I worked there for years, part time, until the end of last year. The environment got really toxic and I had to leave. I started cleaning houses for my friends and family, part time. Between my kids needs and my health needs I can't work full time right now.

I'm considering going back to school to finish my human services degree. But I'm also curious if there are any more high paying jobs that I could get a certificate for and work from home or have a flexible schedule to accommodate my health issues.

I feel like I'm best suited for a heart-centered type of career, but I'm very anxious about not being able to support myself and my kids and I'm very scared to end up stuck in another toxic relationship because I can't afford to get out.

I was always good at math when I was in school and decent with computers, though both of those are rusty after all these years. But I think my brain will turn back on some once I go to school. But I also need to be aware that I have brain fog, so I think something repetitive, that I can still manage when my brain is fuzzy, would be best. I don't want to deal with phone calls.

Tldr: What type of career could I do that

-has a flexible schedule/work from home -well paying, can do with minimal schooling, a certificate or associates -repetitive office/computer work -minimal interaction with others, or plenty of demand for the job so I can leave a work environment if it's toxic or not accommodating to my health issues
