Hello! I'm a college dropout with a disability that would most likely prevent me from working a 9-5 job. Is there a way to earn enough money to live on and save the rest of it? I need to save up a very large amount of money to try and purchase a house, as well as for a very expensive (6 figure) surgery. I've been trying to help save up money for that, and being a landlord seems like a tempting deal with the devil, but I'd really like to not be the scum of the earth if I can help that. Are there any work-from-home jobs I can do that will earn me enough money to save up? I've got a good deal of programming and IT knowledge, and plan on getting a CompTIA A+ certificate soon, but other than that I'm kinda out of ideas.
If you get a couple certifications for IT stuff the world is your oyster. Helpdesk support or software sales are generally remote now and if you are picky about the organization you end up at you can generally work as much as is required throughout the day without being micromanaged too much
So you already have enough money that purchasing property and being a landlord is a possibility but also you can't work?
Idk if that's the situation you're in I'd just ask your parents.
My parents are dead, unfortunately. I have pretty much no money, I'm just seeing saving and scraping my wages to purchase property as a possible 'ticket out' of capitalism.
'ticket out' of capitalism = obtaining capital. Do you see no contradictions?
You're not going to get a mortgage without reliable income.
If you're able to save enough from your wages to buy real estate then why are you saying you can't work?
Very confused by your whole situation here.
Just my two cents, but skip getting the A+ certification, and seek a cert in some sort of programming field (Python, C++, other relevant modern languages). The A+ cert is mostly applicable toward physically demanding IT jobs (office environments involving break-fix stuff from printer hardware to computer hardware. Software support is also included, but it's all entry-level stuff). If you already have experience programming, lean more into that, since most all programming and development can be done remotely.
I would specialize in something really widespread but relatively esoteric like DAX or OSI PI then freelance.
I don't know how feasible it is for you (lot of factors), but I'd consider moving somewhere with lower cost of living, perhaps (assuming you're US or somewhere similar) even going abroad.
Lot of places in Eastern Europe or South East Asia have lower cost of living, and decent internet/healthcare. If you're in the US, going to a city in the middle of country is cheaper than even small cities on the coast.
