Job Options

Question

Hi everyone! I have a bit of a dilemma. I need to start earning some money. However, finding a job that works with my situation is difficult. I developed epilepsy during college, so I haven't had a chance to do entry level jobs with my degrees (biology and environmental science) afterwards cuz I was struggling with treatment and everything that comes with epilepsy.

I had a job during college until the pandemic when they fired all student workers. I had 2 temporary jobs after college, but they were random and just luck from knowing people who needed help.

I am not seizure free (so can't drive) and also have developed sciatica so even moving around is difficult for me at the moment. I also have sleeping problems and sleep more than the average person (in the middle of finding treatment for this). I am on medicaid and need a job that doesn't pay me so much that they kick me off of it. I know that the chances of finding a good job with adequate health benefits is highly unlikely with my current situation.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? Even typing this has me feeling defeated. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Maybe even suggestions for training and education opportunities that you might know about.
