An example that I can think of is Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), which requires a relatively short online course (for a fee, of course) and entails teaching basic english to kids from non english countries online. I’ve usually known of older and elderly people doing this but I don’t think that’s a requirement or anything lol. As far as know, the only requirements are high school English and the teaching English course.
Are there any other of these sorts of online jobs that maybe require a short course, and at least potentially bring in enough to pay for the groceries?
I had thought of this area of work. Not averse to learning something tech related (although you wouldn’t be able to tell going by the 3 times I’ve started and abandoned a programming course in my life), I just worry that being both a noob and almost 40 would count against me finding actual work. Plus, going by the other commenter, seems like a tough market right now.
On a side note, programming is something I would love to do in my downtime, to be able to finally make my game(s) lol.
I got my first job in programming at 35 a few years back.
Oh cool, that’s definitely encouraging, thanks.
I should probably add that I don’t have a relevant degree and I’ve since been promoted, so it can go okay!
