What  online course should I start to learn a useful skill?

Henlo,

I am on disability pension without school and so at this point am looking for a home-office job due to my conditions. Since everything requires at least SOME skill, what is a good thing to learn in an online class/course that would benefit me in finding a job, even if it is for minimum wage? I'm going to probably cut off advanced programming straight away cause I don't really have the "brains" for that but anything else would be really helpful.

Any ideas are welcome.

    Since you are disabled, do you have a case worker or social worker?   They might be able to get you into a training program and help you find employment.

    In some places there are subsidies for employers who employ people with disabilities. 

    You can certainly start on the basics on your own.   How fast can you type?    Can you use basic software packages like word processing and spreadsheets?

    Start by learning Microsoft Office Suite.  Word and Excel are necessary for almost all office positions. If you have the aptitude, learn bookkeeping and QuickBooks.  A lot of bookkeeping is done remotely now.
