HOW ABOUT THOU SUCKETH MINE COCKETH RENTOID LOWLIFE SCUMFUCKS. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wife makes $140kish but has absolute shit schedule that changes nearly biweekly because they absolutely refuse to increase wages for their pharms.

This means we have to pay an arm and leg for daycare for 3 (soon to be more) kids. There's basically no arrangement where I can within 1-2 days notice tell someone they have to take our kids and drop them off at school or pick them up since we're transplants anyways.

It's going to take a while but trying to get a Visa for a domestic worker which will sort of even out. Won't save any cash, but zero housework to do with Malee or Maria doing it for daycare costs. Daycares are booked out like 2-3 years right now.

So I'm thinking about being a gignigger but I've been discouraged because it doesn't look that easy to get into unless you're a code monkey, which I'm not.

Degree in Supply Chain Management
Sales & management background, 5-10 years of various office tier skills like hire and fire, spreadsheeting with mild SQL, front\backend web admin, ecommerce, research, reporting, business finance, light accounting (tax, internal and external). Some audio mixing & mastering experiance but none professionally.

Just wondering what bizfags are doing these days when it's not coding.

For remote stuff, I'd like to start getting involved with stuff that I can do all over the world. Journalizing seems to be a pretty universal want and need across the world. Basic ROI reporting, but I assume most of that stuff is handled in their ERP or cloud systems these days.

Wonder if anyone is doing Epic deployments around the world or if they're still just US centric.

I've seen some sales stuff mentioned too but most of the phone sales positions are call center stuff, not legitimate sales positions.

I've done some international business with China and wonder how valuable having a US seller on staff would be to them.

Ideas are helpful besides "learn to code." I'm interested in SQL but not non-database languages. MBA?
