31(M) needs career advice and suggestions
I am 31(M) years old and have completed only my +2 education in the Commerce stream. I do not have any further academic degree or professional qualification.
After finishing school, I joined my family business and have been working in it for the last 12 years.
During this time, I also managed to build an additional source of rental income, which is now sufficient to comfortably cover my family's monthly expenses. My wife is also earning, so financially we are in a stable position.
However, our family business has been struggling for the last three years, and for the past one and a half years it has been running at a loss every month. I have tried everything possible to revive it, but the market trend has changed significantly and demand for our product has dropped to a point where recovery is no longer realistic.
I plan to settle all outstanding accounts over the next six months and wind up the business. This would leave me totally idle with nothing to do.
At this stage, I want to restart my career, but I don't want to start another business. Instead, I would like to pursue education again and build a career that allows me to work remotely, since I need to stay in amritsar to manage and look after the properties that generate my rental income.
Are there any distance-learning degrees, courses, or academic pathways that would be suitable for someone in my situation? My goal is to gain the right qualifications and eventually secure a remote job.
I would genuinely appreciate any advice or guidance from people who have taken a similar path or have experience in this area.
