Career questions tagged remote-work
Anyone who does career counseling ?
I am trying to figure out what I want to study in either for trade school or college. I currently am unemployed and 17. I need a job now as well that pays well and long term but I am not sure if I should do a program or internship at PCC instead because the job market is really bad right now. I am also not sure whether I want to have a remote job or in-person job after I finish either college or trade. If anyone who was in a similar situation or is currently doing trade/college/internship/program what your advice is. I am just really lost right now and I don’t have much time because I finish high school in about 5 months so I need to have a plan after that. I know there is different topics any questions but if anyone can please share your feedback on this I would appreciate it.

Do you have advice or suggestions on jobs I could apply for that are relatively low stress for an introvert and potentially helpful for my career (in alternative medicine)?
Hi, I am currently looking for work that I can do while I am in school full-time. I've only ever worked in customer service related jobs in the past and found them to be quite repetitive and socially draining. I have been searching for remote jobs as well but many listings appear to be from unreliable sources and there are limited options I qualify for. I'm also open to short term full-time work until mid-June :) Many thanks, Ash

I just landed a commission based sales representative at this digital agency. It's remote I have to work from home . I wanted something to get me out of my comfort zone before I finish my studies , Current I am year 2 student at university. But I am afraid that I might not do well in the this job and it might affect my academic. I am saying "maybe I should drop it and focus on my studies since the meeting will even happen in the morning and I have classes in morning everyday". ( Guess I am using that as an excuse). What should I do . ?
Advice on how to handle this 🙏.

Electrical Engineering and digital nomad friendly jobs?
Hello. I am currently on my third gap year. Which I am very ashamed of but unfortunately I had health issues. I applied to Architecture but if I don’t get in I must have a plan B since Architecture is limited number. I’d like to do a fully remote job in the future because I want to live in Thailand. My main passion is Architecture but if I don’t get in I am thinking about Industrial Design or Electrical Engineering. I am thinking more about Electrical Engineering because I enjoy physics but my main worry is that it’s not digital nomad friendly. I also like Industrial Design because i’d like to get creative as well but I am scared that I will be unemployed though it’s the most remote friendly because of UX design etc. What should I do? I will be 22 this year and I want a safe path that wont force me to get another bachelor or master’s degree. I studied Computer Science for a few months but I hated coding though it was the most remotely friendly. Is it possible to get entry level jobs completely remotely with Electrical Engineering degree? I live in the Netherlands but I am not dutch

Feeling lost! Can I build a remote tech/AI career without experience?
Hi everyone, I’m going through a really difficult period in my life and would be incredibly grateful for some honest advice. I am 34 years old and I recently moved to Japan (Fukuoka), and I’m struggling to find a viable career path. I don’t speak Japanese yet (I’ve started studying it), and I’ve been applying for English or Italian teaching jobs (I'm Italian) just to keep things moving but that’s not my real passion. My background is in commercial HVAC pipefitting, with over 10 years of experience on large construction sites across Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, without Japanese language skills, it’s nearly impossible to continue in that field here in Japan. In the past 5-6 months I started studying cybersecurity, using platforms like Coursera and TryHackMe (earning two certificates: Google IT Support and Google Cybersecurity). I was really motivated, but just recently I started to feel discouraged, without hands-on experience or industry connections, it felt like I wouldn’t be able to break into the field. I paused my studies because I was afraid I was wasting time, but deep down I still want to continue. I’ve always been passionate about IT. I’ve had a strong interest in this world for as long as I can remember, and recently I’ve become more and more fascinated by how AI is changing the way we work and solve problems. I love exploring tools and workflows that help automate tasks, improve productivity, and create new opportunities for people like me, without a formal background in the industry. I’m also interested in the creative side of AI, such as image generation (which I occasionally share on socials), but my main goal is to find ways to use AI and IT tools to build a remote career, even starting small. That’s why I’m reaching out here. I’d really appreciate any honest, practical advice on: Is it truly possible to start a remote career in IT, without prior experience or a degree? What learning paths, certifications, or tools are actually worth focusing on? How can someone like me start from scratch and build a sustainable future in IT while managing day-to-day survival? Are there beginner-friendly roles where curiosity, consistency, and self-teaching are enough to open doors? Thank you so much for reading. I’m feeling lost, but still hopeful. Even a bit of direction or encouragement would mean a lot to me right now.

What do I do in a situation like this?
Hi, I love my current remote part-time job. I just interviewed for another part time job to supplement my current job. A second interview seems very promising. Here in a few weeks though, I would have to leave my current job an hour early for only two days in a row. If I am offered the second job, how do I go about telling my manager I need to leave two hours early two days in a row? I have been tossing around ideas, but I just don't know. This second job is one I have been wanting badly, but I also do not want to lose my current job because I absolutely love it. Does anyone have any tips or advice? Thank you!
How can I turn the challenges I’ve faced in managing chronic illness and limited mobility into strengths that set me apart in the competitive world of remote IT careers?
As someone living with chronic illness and limited mobility, I’ve had to develop strong self-discipline, time management, and problem-solving skills to succeed in my online IT studies at Strayer University. I chose this path not only for the flexibility it offers, but because I’ve discovered a genuine passion for technology and remote work. Despite physical challenges, I’ve earned certifications, maintained consistent progress, and found creative ways to stay focused and productive from home. My dream is to land a remote IT job where I can continue growing, learning, and contributing meaningfully without being limited by my health. I want to understand how to turn my personal obstacles into professional advantages that show employers I bring not just skills—but resilience, determination, and adaptability.
