1.) I live at home with my mom and grandma and my grandma basically needs someone to be home with her at all times.

2.) I have tinnitus and that's really fucked me up in many ways. As for how it relates to jobs, super quiet places give me headaches and super loud places make me afraid I'll make my tinnitus worse being there. My original plan was to work somewhere quiet but unfortunately I can't do that anymore.

There are a lot of writing related jobs for work from home types (technical writers, copywriters, many others), but they almost without exception pay extremely poorly, and any decent jobs are competitive. They're also nearly all freelance, so if you want a 'real job' It's not a great line.

Programming is your best bet. Java is all the rage right now.

Interesting, I will keep this in mind.

I could do that, did you need an English degree before jumping into that?

Yeah, programming is what I come across. I found some sites to learn programming and will be trying to go through them on my own since college classes seem real slow.

You're on the right track. College is laughably slow, and the only thing that matters in programming is your skill set.

Once you've got a few small projects under your belt and in your code portfolio, you can easily land an entry level programming job that pays very well.

More and more startups and even enterprise level companies are embracing the distributed office model, aka everyone works from home and we don't waste money on an office.

So you may actually be able to start out from home too, provided you can keep up with the workload.

Go browse around some job listings to get an idea of what they're looking for. Once you feel confident, find a reputable recruiting firm and they'll have you a job in no time.

Good Luck, Friend.

This.

I put in 10 hours in the kitchen and come home. I won't be bothered by work until Friday because I work 4 10's.

Medicare pays for home health care by people far more knowledgeable than you are. Let your tax dollars pay for someone else to wipe her ass.

I ran all kinds of power equipment from 10 years old. Only started caring about ear protection in the last 3 years. At 27 I can still hear check calls over blaring rap in the kitchen. Suck it up and deal with it.
