    • Data Entry, i tripped over my own shoelaces into a fairly comfy data entry job in my early 20s without a degree. basically it was looking at videos turning it into spreadsheet data for engineers. I got in at the sweet spot between when they used to make blokes stand outside and when neural networks started doing this stuff. I'm sure in some places they still do it this way. Also there's other types of data entry. Consumer data, mostly.

    • QA Testing for software. not every dev team needs you to be a programmer. sometimes they just need people to test new features of an application from an end-user perspective. it especially helps if you're good at verbal/text communication and sending screenshots if you run into errors. Also you need to be able to follow flowcharts to compare what the program is doing to what the specification says it should be doing.

    I hate call centers but there are a lot of office jobs that are actually good if you can type fast and remember a lot of things, even if you don't have a degree. Attendance will matter more than anything else. I had a gig where I was finally allowed to work for home after a few years. As much as I hate to say it, a lot of small business chuds are absolute knuckleheads who can't work a spread sheet or manage a budget. having even the most bare-boned skills in excel and being able to keep up with contacts and make a few phone calls here and there for that kind of person is a job that's easy to get but you might have to offer your services in a more mercenary fashion, since a lot of people don't even realize they need someone like that, or keep insisting to themselves that they don't.
