Hi! Weird request, mildly related, but does any of you fine people have any suggestions for interesting and Lefty-friendly jobs?

After a decade of undoing the universe's work by completely annihilating my soul in IT, I want out. I'm not looking for alternative jobs in IT, I want out-out. Like, I don't wanna be usin' a computer for more than making Spreadsheets, and phones for more than chatting and ignoring emails. Edit here: would also use for graphical design and related, but I'd have to start from scratch. Basic Paint.net usage is my high-score.

In terms of pay, that will be a secondary concern, my priority is establishing a list of potentials in order to have a nice foothold from which to start figuring it out.

If it's of any help, my "Major's" QA, mostly Manual and some Automation (Cypress with JS). I've also officially done some Project Management, Process Auditing and Optimisation, Data Science, and Community Management (-ish on the last one, training programs/materials and project organiser for a community of freelance testers). Got a Bachelor's in Theatre Acting, two years as a bass player in two bands, some IT/maths/phys background from high-school (Eastern European curriculum, so they really let us have it...) and I enjoy analysing and solving problems. Heavily into literature, music and visual arts, I can learn absolutely anything and I do not shy away from physical labour - kinda' miss it, actually.

I'm super-serious about this, I can't stand the domain anymore and I feel I'll lose my mind if I have to keep doing this.

Thank you very much even if you've only read through this!
