There are a lot of in demand jobs, from nurse to developer if you don't mind working in those specific fields you can skip a lot of those steps.

I am unfortunately currently disabled... got maimed, my full time job is PT for myself.

I do have decent job experience as a software dev, db admin, data analyst... but yeah I am kind of fucked at the moment, legs fucked, barely mobile, wrist is fucked, can't type for more than short bursts.

The PT is working though, and I have considered various kinds of skilled tech laborer style visa applications... but its all gonna have to wait untill i both figurstively and literslly get back on my feet.
