Long story short, after years of struggles and finally alienating everyone, I realized that I don't belong in my workplace and I'm happy to go someplace which is a better fit for me. Here's my situation: 29 years old, Canadian, MSc in computing. No criminal record. I have been teaching university and college as an adjunct for the last two years, though with mostly negative results. I loved doing it, but I wasn't good at it. Not being a quitter, I kept on trying, year after year. People eventually got upset. Also: Bunch of years spent in research and a few tiny gigs, all this a very long time ago and I also did not belong despite trying pretty hard to fit in with others. No debt, enough savings for a year or so. (Yay, responsible living!) No illnesses, though physically somewhat frail and clumsy as all hell. I am looking for a job that will let me work by myself, ideally with low supervision and no group work. I don't mind night shift and it does not have to pay over 36k CAD a year. I can probably get by on 18-24k CAD. I would be looking for something permanent or at least reliably there. I am not necessarily looking for a job with computers. Any leads? Bonus: Due to me desperately trying to cram myself into a pigeon hole where I don't belong I ruined my two most recent job references. Jobs that can be used to gain references or that don't care about them are a plus.

Moneyball posted:This might not be much help, but considering you have a degree in computing, you might be able to do something similar to a friend of mine. For a few years before he got tired of it, he managed servers and did remote support from home. I think he had to go to the office maybe once a week. The mostly-work-at-home part is why I stayed in teaching for so long. I actually would prefer something new. I live really cheaply, so I don't need as much as I'd be getting working for a computer company.
