What can I do with my life as a disabled person?
Posted by BlueCoconut77@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 7 comments
I graduated a new years ago... No masters just undergraduate in UK uni. Then An accident happened, Im disabled and house bound therefore I can only do things remotely. I tried applying to many companies but no luck... Id like to start doing something independenty. I was thinking of becoming a love/relationship coach since I have the psychology background and love topics surrouding love and relationships. My Friends always tell me that Im so good at helping them out. So Im thinking of starting socials as a love coach and earn by:
Offering ebooks
Offering pre recorded webinars
Writing Articles on substack/medium (can get paid if people subscribe)
What do you all Think? Am I going in right direction? It'll probably take forever to start earning I know :/

You can certainly do a channel around love and relationships maybe not giving serious and sensitive advice to individuals with qualification. But as a response to love and relationship topics in popular culture has been popular and could be a great start to a social media page/channel.

I have to second the PP that being a ‘love’ coach is probably not a feasible career though I believe you mean relationship coach. As others have said you’d need proper formal qualifications and so if you have an affinity for this type of work look into becoming an accredited counsellor.

Relationship coaching isn't just giving regular advice. It's more like one partner is a relapsed alcoholic and they're trying to keep it together for the kids or dealing with the impact of a death of a child on a relationship
Becoming a therapist takes a good few years of studying and supervised sessions

The relationship coaches I know have serious qualifications behind them.. Masters and PhDs. I'm not sure undergrad plus "your mates think you're good" will do it.
Maybe look into counseling qualifications? You are right though that in the modern age, you want to have a diverse set of online content behind you to build a bit of a name.

Have you spoken to your local council with regard to getting support in finding a job, they may be helpful to find specific things and help with access to work as well.
As a disabled person who also has a degree. Find things you like, find your purpose, something the world needs, something you’re good at and can be paid for! But also have separate hobbies as well. It doesn’t matter if it’s not related to your degree at all, mine isn’t.
