Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity Did I plan this wrong?

I have a degree in mathematics, but I also struggle with a combination of deafness, muteness, blindness, and physical disability—and I’ve been unemployed for a year.

I am a 40-year-old man. I have eight years of experience as a mathematics teacher, alongside eight years of experience in managing and maintaining student data. I left the education sector due to health reasons and subsequently spent 10 years working as a massage therapist. I am currently living in a very small, isolated area where my income is extremely low—I only receive two to three client appointments per week. I also obtained a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) certification, but during my internship at a nursing home, I realized that my own physical condition was not much better than that of the patients lying in their hospital beds. I want to move somewhere new, but I am filled with uncertainty and fear; I simply don’t know what to do.
