Hello,

I'm in a unique situation; I am disabled and housebound. My brain works well, and I have a drive to succeed and better my situation, the main problem is that my body fails to comply.

I'm hoping for career advice about which area(s) of computing would be suitable for someone that needs to work remotely. I need a lot of care, so working from my home is the only situation that will work. As my condition is difficult, I can go days being restricted to my bed, so I feel freelancing would be the easiest option for me. I'm moving through codeacademy, and enjoying the experience. I do feel that development is one area that would be good, but I'm not sure that would work. I'm not a young man (31) but I do intend to keep fighting.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks chaps.

odesk.com springs to mind.

Also try hubpages. (Bit of a longer term thing but if you're creative and can write, then it could prove useful.)

You could consider an e-commerce business with a drop-ship model. Plenty of drop ship suppliers or build relationships with normal suppliers who will be willing to ship the items out for you.

Combines coding with internet marketing etc etc.. can easily be done from a bed with a laptop and a phone, if you get busier you can use automation software to automatically send orders to your suppliers reducing the work load...
