now that there’s basically no way to get a tech job in the US, what do y’all recommend as a career field for someone who:

• is autistic
• probably can’t get her hands dirty because of sensory issues (I might be able to learn but unsure) (I also considered wearing gloves whenever working with gross parts but I’m unsure how practical that would be)
• has crippling social anxiety
• is very good at quickly learning systems and dealing with numbers and other logical stuff like that

I’m okay with even low-paying jobs as long as it’s a liveable wage, but ideally I’d like something that doesn’t take too much unpaid training because I want to get some kind of income quickly

here’s what I’ve considered so far:

accountant: it seems like there’s an expectation for me to be “professional” (create a whole work persona and mask aggressively) which I hate, and I would also need to network. but I’m considering this

locksmith: I’ve always wanted to learn lockpicking, but I’m unsure how dextrous I am, and I feel like my hands might have to get dirty/sticky/gross if I did this

CNC machine operator: this seemed perfect for me at first (get to make cool parts, get to work with computers, minimal People Stuff), but then I learned that I’d still have to work with parts with my hands so my hands would probably still get gross and that would drive me crazy - unless I can wash them immediately after
