If you have an AA. Consider being a substitute teacher. Pays ok. But you only work 5 out of the 7.5 hr day and get paid the full day.

I did for several years. I remained very active until my seizures became resistant to medications and disabling. I was a teacher, horse riding instructor, horse trainer, worked in a pet supplies shop, worked in a meat market... all within 9 years.

I worked full time jobs from 18 to the age of 30. That was a little after getting married to my wife. She persuade me to apply for Social Security and she would work

I've had a few full time jobs but soon as I start having seizures I lose my job or have to quit for not being able to show up. So I've found having a part-time and self employment is better to support me when I'm sick.
