It’s exciting that the internet has opened up career options for young people with conditions that cause pain and fatigue.
This is the theme of a workshop we are having this week-end for several of the teenagers who attend the hydrotherapy groups at the Kidz Clinic.
We are hoping this will be the beginning of a project that explores the new online economy and the different careers that are emerging in this global marketplace.
There are new career options emerging because of the possibilities of the Internet aren’t as well understood by traditional career advisers. It is also true that even existing careers can take on new forms when combined with specialisation in niches.
Working to earn an income online also mean much more control over the work environment.
Joint pain often puts teenagers at a disadvantage in a traditional working environment, whereas there are quite a few options when it comes to putting together a working environment that is based around a computer.
My husband Glenn and I will run the group. We run an online business, and hope to share some of our insights with the group.
