To think I can make a living just doing my own thing?

[Goodsplatter]

I need to get out of nursing. It’s just not me at all. I don’t like being around people - I’m autistic so struggle with empathy and just spend my days getting irritable and worked up. I’m unhappy. Next year I’m determined to get out of it completely.

I need to be self employed as I’m unreliable and inflexible (but very self aware!!). My ideal life would be a mixture of painting and decorating X dog walking. AIBU to think theoretically I can do both of these things and make around £1000 a month doing so?

She’s talked to her DH- he is supportive. Presumably if he planned to ditch his job he’d have mentioned it- because it would mean he would starve too if they were both jobless.
