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.
Learn to code.
Walk into the building and start sweeping the floors until they give you a job.
Edit - Sorry guys, my dad posted this comment. Please ignore it.
Technically if you just want that asap there are support roles at a lot of companies that are essentially this.
They’re shit but they are remote and doing support responses. There’s a lot of this type of role in videogame companies, server management companies, etc. Experience is often entry-level so none needed, just general knowledge in the topic or industry involved, maybe some tech background if it’s in any tech companies, really minor stuff that can very easily be lied about on the hobby or self employed side.
Interesting. You seem like you know your stuff, how much would something like that pay?
Entry level support here in the UK is basically at or around minimum wage rising to anywhere between £13k-18k depending on how shitty the company is, speaking in terms of annual salaries. I can’t speak for the US unfortunately but I’m pretty sure shit there isn’t very different.
As for finding them though… Harder. A lot simply do not need to advertise because they get applications all the time and can simply dip into their pile of applications. Looking around for any tech-sector companies with support teams and seeing if they’ve got anything currently listed on their site, or just dropping them stuff. A lot of people in the server industry in particular actually start in the support roles before filtering to more technical roles like sysops and sys admins.
Get your foot in the door with a tech job with the helpdesk and learn to code while doing that then get a coding job at the company.
