I want to be done with manual labor. How do I become one of those people that does their work on a laptop on a tropical island? Every day I just want to die. Please help.
Other comments are better than this one, but consider college. Although you can probably just learn everything you need to on your own, the 4 years there will make you actually grind out learning and finish AND you’ll have the piece of paper that remote jobs occasionally require.
Comp sci is, like, the standard go to for remote work so you could start off with 2 years at an in state college to keep loans down. Dont be afraid to apply for scholarships, all of them, to keep loans down.
I have a 4 year degree and Im working for the government right now because I did federal internships for 3 years in the summers between semesters. Its remote right now, and I have to say I dont miss the office and I really like being able to roll out of bed and work and having the freedom to cut it short without begging a supervisor - just leave lol. It’s also nice cause I can just visit family on work days now that everybody’s finished vaccinating. Definitely reccomend remote work if you can get it.
It makes me wish we had socialism so bad. This is only partially unalienated labour, cant wait for the day we have purely unalienated labour for everyone so we can all share this even if people prefer to do manual labour.
