What Kind Of Jobs Can People Get Having Focal Epilepsy Struggling With Memory And Low Energy Levels, And Chronic Back Issues.

Having epilepsy and chronic back problems lowers my self esteem as I am afraid of letting people down if I can’t be consistent due to low energy because of my health.

I’m 51yrs old I’m only have basic typing computer skills, creating roster, term programs things like that. I trained in early childhood education but couldn’t get a job in the industry because I needed to study further but Tafe refused me entry because of my chronic back condition. So frustrating having early childhood knowledge and not being allowed to use it, I did volunteer work running play groups for about 20yrs.
I was told to look for a paid job with a career change so I began studying counselling but I am not sure if it suits me long term as the study is exhausting I’m thinking what the job gonna do to me.
