Links ? Srligt til action cam og powerbank ! <| sep |> I don ' t want to turn this into an argument , so please don ' t take this that way but since you seem to be open to discussion , let ' s discuss . As I mentioned before , and you correctly stated , there will be corner cases where people ' s options are limited . but let ' s talk out loud for a moment . I don ' t want to pretend I know your entire scenario , can solve your problem here in a short conversation , but maybe something will help . It doesn ' t hurt to discuss . I also don ' t want to tell you that limitations you ' ve mentioned are excuses , but if we pivot the mindset a bit and consider them instead constraints , and then look for solutions that fit those constraints , perhaps some new choices will appear . Almost like solving a puzzle . get creative . I don ' t know much about SSI , but I think I read somewhere that unfortunately limits your options , because of income rules around it and losing benefits or something like that ? I apologize for my ignorance here . If I set that aside , and a friend came to me with your other constraints and asked for advice . I would ask them to consider expanding their skills to find better paying work that meets their needs . Can you code or do you have the ability to learn to develop code or design solutions in software that is more structured and less code dependent ? If so , I would say that ' s one option that routinely allows people to work from home with little social interaction , that can pay nicely . For example , I am a software architect , I design software solutions but I don ' t actually code things . If you have a mind that can take the properties of objects and piece them together into a larger system of objects in ways to solve problems , it might be possible to learn what I do , but of course there are millions of other ways to do that in this sphere . There are other work from home gigs that have a lot to do with data . Compliance Officers and medical billing are two examples that require little social interaction , and the people I know who do them seem to have flexible work from home schedules . One of whom is a widow and gets support for her children and stays below whatever salary cap she needs to for now by doing it part time . I want to compliment you that you seem articulate and bright , and if you can find a coping mechanism to get through the job interview , you could perhaps land a job that doesn ' t require as much social interaction after that . Is it the job interview social anxiety you think holds you back the most ? If so , let ' s do and end zone run around that . Skip the job interview process per se . build a network via Linked In , a blog about your chosen field , etc . send out tweets with hashtags and get followers from your chosen industry . Most of those are one way communication where you don ' t have to interact as much . At some point , you may have a following that is offering you jobs based on the image you ' ve built up , that may not require as much of an actual job interview this is what I did with my recent gig . My job interview then consisted of a lunch and more me asking questions about why I would want to work for them rather then the other way around . is that luck ? Maybe . but I put a lot of effort into my Linked In , an industry related blog , and tweeting related content to build a following . I ' m antisocial a bit too unless I have to talk , and most of that did not involve direct social contact . Or something similar to the above , where once you have a contact , you can open up via email or online communication to explain your scenario and contstraints , express a willingness to overcome and get past that part because the job will not require high social interaction etc . and ask for a modified interview process that is within the boundaries of what you can do . Asking for something unconventional is the best way to get it , you won ' t get it unless you ask but in my opinion this works best with the person has previous reason to believe in you . What about starting a business service of some type ? Working from home , being smart , and savvy with the internet can open a lot of doors in a new field . Internet marketing ? Selling products that only require you to find the customers and faciliate the sale online , while someone else handles all of the actual shipping , inventory , etc . people do this . Monetize a blog over time . Skip tracing . tracking down people who have skipped out on their bills via information searching , etc . . Customer support that doesn ' t require phone calls , but emails instead . Taking online courses , free or paid , that will allow you to acquire a new skill that you can turn into income . At the end of the day , perhaps you are one of the few that has very few options , and it ' s easy to just accept that . but I would like to encourage you , to refuse to accept that you have no options and come up with a solution to this problem , that may have multiple moving pieces , that may require time , learning a skill , or a few steps to get from A to Z . I hope you don ' t see any of this as me trying to be argumentative , as I ' m genuinely trying to help and see if maybe there ' s an idea you hadn ' t thought of . I wish you luck , and I hope your current feeling of being stuck will be solved as some point I know it ' s shitty to feel that way .
