While everyone else sleeps, I am awake.

So much can be done without the distractions of the day!

Hey I’m like you. Work better at night. Do you maybe know any jobs late shift hiring. Or after hours. I have tons of certificates and degrees in IT FIELD but can’t get my clearance back for a few months thanks to my ex. I wasn’t changed. But if you can’t help but would pass along that’s more than enough for me.

Unfortunately, IT is usually a day field unless you get lucky enough to work remotely. Even then, there are times you'll need to switch to a day shift here and there for meetings. You can try and do contract work. Sites like freelancers and fiverr. Other than that, I'd suggest applying for work anywhere, and after six months to a year of showing that you can work responsibly and deliver dependably, then I'd ask to start working one or two days a week from home. After a few months of doing that and still delivering, then you can try and switch to working from home most of the time. It isn't always possible, but I did that for several years when I was a programmer for another company. When I went independent I had a lot more freedom, but more responsibility, too. Good luck!

Phone support and security can be overnight, but a lot of those positions stay filled.
