So I’m going to start out and say follow the thread of working in social work, but in an area without the need of being super people-facing. This might be in:
-patient advocacy in the likes of a resource nursing position (but not in the social worker’s office of a hospital, which can be rough) where you help people fight crappy bills, get services and yell at insurance companies if need be.
-Policy and/or law training could let you be an advocate or lobbyist for a nature stewardship organization, or work in the administrative sections on your choice of trade unions.
-Another is librarianship/library sciences, which is also starting to have a foot in community care, or maybe combined with another area like legal librarianship or as an archivist at a school or museum. Immersive learning work/research might also put your artistic skills to uses that don’t interferes with your hobbies.
-Another area is in higher education administration doing D&I/student rights or immersive learning, an area desperate for people with disability experience.
-And, the king of all hermit jobs, regulatory compliance. Compliance reviewers may have to get licensed a bit, but it shouldn’t be anything to bad.
-[And lastly the most pie-in-the-sky option if you’re willing to stick out the schooling would be as a labor or disability lawyer, wherein you’d just sue companies for illegally firing people all day and stick it to bosses — absolute dream job but I can’t provide you any online options for law school. Maybe in 2025 when the ABA changes requirements.]
These are all jobs that 1) need disabled representatives in them 2) don’t require too much physicality 3) have fairly procedural methods of communicating with other parties or providing solutions to problems 4) often have automated methods of referring to information and supervisory experts to rely on and 5) pay decently and have robust online decreeing methods to the graduate level.
The VR services should also help you do some career exploration before compiling your individual employment plan (which you can always amend), as well as career services at whatever school you choose to attend.
