Currently working in a job i hate and is bad for my health, even my dr recommends i dont work there but need regular income.

Current job is working on the phone all day, being yelled at by people.

I'm not a confident person, i dont like being on the phone.

Most my experience is general IT stuff, with some knowledge on formatting, installing programs etc.

Did media at college, video at uni but havent done anything really since then which was 10yrs ago.

Cant do warehouse/factory jobs as always been bullied in those places.

Ideally id love to get into film/tv industry, not sure where id be best suited as i find im more an ideas guy, that is my best feature. I have ideas for film/tv/games even business ideas but no idea how to get anything going or get heard by the right people.

I have ulcerative colitis which is mild but stress makes it worse.

Willing to relocate, any ideas on what i could do earn a living, office, working from home etc.

A careers office or job centre would make a better place to ask.

Unless there are careers advisor type peeps here......

I have considered porn several times but its getting the experience making it before starting a site, plus with torrent sites these days, its hard to protect yourself

Before i started at this place 2yrs ago, i tried to run my own business with transferring vhs/negatives etc to dvd, even making them more personal to people by making titles, etc but it was never enough to live off. Plus you got bigger companies that can do 20 1hr tapes in like 2hrs, where it would take me 21 hrs so they can always charge a lot less per tape. I would do wedding etc but confidence is an issue, plus my colitis, cant exactly start filming a wedding and suddenly need to rush off.
