Looking for a new career path at 42. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Advice

Before staying home with my kids, I worked at an admin assistant for a aeronautics company. For reference, that was 15 years ago. 3 years ago, I landed a remote part time job with a tech startup doing customer support. This seems to be a dying field thanks to AI. Given my history, I really don't qualify for much. I'm open to working on a degree, but I am terrible at math. Absolutely terrible. What are some possible career paths that don't involve math? I'm feeling really hopeless considering how horrible the job market is right now 😔 To make matters worse, I have a bad knee so I can't do anything that involves standing around for hours at a time. Any ideas would be appreciated!
