Is there a position available anywhere in the world where I can simply take an assessment to identify my skills and capabilities, receive assignments accordingly, complete them remotely, and submit them without the need for ongoing communication or visits? I prefer a role that allows for flexible, independent work hours.
I have ten years of experience as a paralegal but am seeking a different type of work that doesn’t require returning to school, interaction with others, or leaving my home. I am highly capable but uncertain about my next career steps and am looking for a more autonomous work arrangement.
Will put a vote in for blue collar work. Since the work tends to have obvious checkboxes that indicate “done”, once your boss thinks you are competent you can pretty much just work on your own. Especially if you work in something like new commercial construction - literally just show up, get a quick run down of tasks for the day, and then you are heads down doing whatever it is you are doing. Maybe you tell someone to move because they are in your way.
Another benefit is that no one expects you to be polite when working blue collar. Of course, this means sometimes the racist shitheads get a pass. But it also means your social foibles will tend to be overlooked. Status in blue collar work tends to be assigned less on social acuity, and more on one’s ability to get the job done quickly so everyone can go home.
