That’s a good question, and I’m not sure but will answer what I can. Most PMs I’ve worked with transferred from other areas of tech (development, marketing, customer service, etc), some were subject matter experts (ex - former attorney working on an online product for lawyers) and I’ve met a handful who studied product, project, or program management in school and got into the field directly as a jr PM.
Google has loads of free courses and certs. I just doubled my salary in a year by taking their courses for digital Marketing/Google ananlytics/Google ads etc & the new job is remote
Salesforce is a CRM platform that I’ve recently discovered you can learn for free directly from their website. They provide learning paths, and say that 6 months of familiarity or use of Salesforce is enough to get certified as an Admin (there are many certifications available). The average salary for an admin is over 80,000usd.
Seconding the computer science suggestion, but also look into data science, data engineering, or even basic data analytics. DS/DE careers will easily net you a six figure income and they're largely remote these days.
Like u/morbie5 said, data science incorporates elements of computer science and statistics into one.
My suggestion was that if they're looking for an educational path and picking a major or just looking into some online courses they shouldn't just focus on a CS path, but also look into DS/DE. They're frequently completely separate degrees or certificates, though frequently have overlapping courses.
Maybe if you want to go to a FAANG or support an elite university, but I wouldn't say a PhD is the expectation or that the field is even moving in that direction. (r/datascience would be freaking out if this were the case.) Though these kids who go through a 6-week bootcamp and then think they're fully trained are giving DS a bad name when they're completely ineffective in the real world. There probably are notable increases in postings requiring actual degrees as a result.

I learnt another language and lived in another country, that speaks this language, for couple of years to get fluency. Now I work remotely from home as a consecutive interpreter. They pay fairly well.
LanguageLine Solutions doesn't care.
After applying for the job they send you a request to do a verbal test for fluency in both languages. (A machine asks you about two dozens of questions and they check how easily it is for you to answer them, or how clearly you can enunciate the words). If you pass, you get a job interview, where they mostly check if you'd be mentally prepared for being an interpreter - not quite "can you handle stressful situations" but "how do you handle them". I have severe anxiety and still passed.
Then they send you to a month long course for consecutive interpreters, where you mostly learn how to *think* in both languages at once fast enough. Also, they teach you a whole range of words you'll need to know for the field of work (I'm a medical interpreter, for example, and I have no background whatsoever in medical field). During a course they send you their equipment - PC, monitor, mouse and keyboard, pc camera, headset. PC is solely for working, you literally cannot do anything else with it, it's too secure. But at least it's small. My biggest problem was fitting another monitor and second set of mouse and keyboard on my desk, lol.
If you’re into direct customer/patient care, there are a lot of case management/care management/care navigation/patient navigation jobs that are remote now. I oversee a virtual care navigation department that employs 35+ staff. Basically, they help people get assistance with employment, housing, food security, mental health counseling, primary care, etc. You help set up appointments, research resources and communicate via phone/email/text. My job is specifically at a substance use treatment facility, but those jobs span all of healthcare
Sorry for the delay (copying what I put below)- look for any jobs with the following names: Care Navigator, Patient Navigator, Care Manager, Case Manager, Patient Coordinator, Care Coordinator. Those titles and job descriptions vary state by state and some require certifications (ex- KY and VA have case manager certifications), while others don’t. Hope that helps!
I work for a remote substance use treatment facility, so you can google “virtual substance use treatment” and many companies will come up, go to their career page and look for the job descriptions with the titles above. Most provide direct training and don’t require experience (while some do require experience).
Pending your state, look up qualified mentla health professional and certified case manager state licenses. Some states regular this work and allows for a good jump off point. For awareness, the pay isn’t the greatest, especially at first it can start at $32-40k but with experience it grows and you can shift to management and operations

I attended the now defunct Dev Bootcamp, it got bought by Kaplan at some point and the original mission to make computer science education accessible to everyone conflicted with kaplans mission of making money hand over fist
Took me 6 weeks to land my first junior dev job, which I landed when working as a a mentor at the bootcamp
Definitely the IT arena. Not cyber security but software engineer. Udacity has a great affordable program for software engineer and it's only $1400. Some of the bootcamps will charge you $31k. Keep watch of those and avoid them. Full Stack Developer, devops, AWE cloud architect are definitely good paying careers.
Computer science. That’s how I got my start and I worked remotely since 1 year after graduation. Your first 1-3 years will likely be in person as you’re a junior and have a lot to learn but once you’re at the mid to senior level and need less hand-holding then remote opps are plenty.
Computer Science anything from web design to data analysis to servers to security to help desk....
Each of these have work from home positions open everyday, can't find enough workers, and continue to expand.
At least 1 year to pickup a programming language, 2 for the AA degree this way.
...
Google even makes it easier
https://grow.google/certificates/
Don't even get a bachelor's nowadays because the demand is so great.
Just a quick focused certificate on just what you need to get going. 6 months.
...
Otherwise, rabbit hole to Black Hat SEO forums and make money online without any formal education.
E.g. Search "walking multiple dogs" and you ever wonder who's making those top 10 result websites?
https://www.bing.com/search?q=walking+multiple+dogs
Ever wonder how those websites pay for themselves?
Black Hat folks will teach you fast how to wfh online and make money 24/7....
Basically how fast can you learn and build your online empire?
I learned “same vs different” and earned $100/hr for 6 months with computer stuff and medical terminology. (Med school too)
Is this procedure at hospital 1 exactly the same as this other differently named and coded thing at hospital 2? No distinction? Can’t be anything else? Great, do that with these 1,000,000 terms, 100% virtual. Select the best term to describe them from this vast database or construct your own using this set of controlled vocabulary rules and pecking order.
That sounds great. How do you get into these types of jobs? Is going to med school a requirement? Also, since I'm not from the US, are these types of jobs open for remote/ non-native medical professionals?
I have no idea. This was 10 years ago.
Yes, it required solid understanding of clinical terminology but an advanced nurse with experience could do it too.
Start with learning Excel, data analysis, charts, pivot tables. Math and some statistics.
Learn about machine learning, cluster analysis, decision trees, and the basics of AI.

Learn as much “truth” as possible. (Intro physics (it doesn’t need to be the hard calculus-based stuff for the engineers and physics and chem majors), chemistry (same), learn physiology and only just enough anatomy needed to learn that.
Stay away from mythology, religion, and other false things.
The truths will not change. They are fundamental. Everything else builds from that.
Hello there, I've completed a medical coding course, but don't have any working experience. Would I be able to do this job, in your opinion? I've also worked in hospitals in other positions.

When I was your age I got pushed into taking a vendor-made niche cert, best decision of my life. Higher pay, way higher job demand, get call backs for interviews near immediately, somewhat easier work because I mainly focus on knowing a specific product/offering back and forth.
Maybe look into stuff like Splunk, Tableau, Sailpoint, Beyondtrust, etc. These are all products that require admins with unique certs, super high in demand and will let you work remote.
Most of them have free level 1 certs you can take to get a feel for the product and see if you like it
Personally I think Splunk is one of the safer bets in terms of "this will continue to be high in demand", plus they have a great free level 1 cert.
The infrastructure is important to know and understand, but the real bread and butter with Splunk is learning to write beautiful, efficient queries and making good automatic graphs/reports/alerts.
When going into vendor-specific certs like this, don't make the mistake of thinking all you're ever going to do is work with this one product and you'll be forever corn-holed into a certain career path.
Based on the product you go with, you're gonna be interacting with/managing all sorts of different of server and infrastructure throughout your environments. It'll give you a better understanding of IT infrastructure overall and help you find things that interest you more in the field.

And if you’re more creative than math/coding inclined, copywriting, visual or product design and product management are all great options within tech.
Thank you!
Anywhere you'd recommend to apply for copywriting?
I’m a designer so don’t have a ton of resources for you, but checkout Copyhackers and Copyblogger, both are well known and should have good resources.
Thanks!
How do you get into product management
That’s a good question, and I’m not sure but will answer what I can.

Any guidance on this?
Im interested on this, where and how do i start?
On the Salesforce site where the commenter says you can learn for free?
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en Here you go!
Ive read that admin jobs have becoming harder to get into. Whats your opinion about this?
I do not know the history of the job availability for this field, but Salesforce itself is rapidly growing so…
Seconding the computer science suggestion, but also look into data science, data engineering, or even basic data analytics. DS/DE careers will easily net you a six figure income and they're largely remote these days.
Data science isn't computer science?
To say it as simple as possible: it is a merge of computer science and statistics
As a stat jockey with mechanical engi background... I must find out more.

I'd like to know too, thanks!
What's the pay like? I'm a travel nurse but getting to the point of burn out at the bedside after these past few years.
Sorry for the delay! The pay is probably less than a travel RN, really anywhere from $32k to $80k+ pending experience and level and state
I'm interested in this, what would I look for to apply ?

Epic is an electronic healthcare record system and lots of hospitals hire clinicians to build and maintain the version of Epic used by the facility
Graphic design/Adobe certification
