Re-skilling is definitely hard, but just to share words of encouragement: it's never been easier to learn skills for free with online tools. AI has a lot of faults but it is really good for this in my experience.
i actually do learn new things all the time, back in the day i did like a year of code academy but i really cannot get my head around coding , i can speak foreign languages and play the guitar, but coding goes nowhere
the problem is finding paying clients , specifically remotely. learning isn't an issue, i love growing my brain.
if i was back in the UK, i could land an office job without too much trouble, but i have no plans on ever living there again under any circumstances
that being said, what would be some areas worth looking into that have good online learning courses etc?

I'm currently teaching myself rust programming. I am generally distrustful of AI but, damn, does it speed up the learning process. But as you're (understandably) aren't interested in coding, I'm unfortunately not sure what else to suggest.

i might try something like that again at some point, maybe i could get my head around it in a better way now, just my initial experience like a decade ago with learning some python and stuff didn't end well lol
