I have physical limitations that preclude working in some of the jobs I like. What I have done is shift to jobs that are mental, not physical. I am currently in a program for my Masters in Education, TESOL. When I finish the degree next year, I will enter the Education Doctorate program. I intend to work the next 50 years or so in education, preferably at the University level with tenure, supplemented by consultancy, textbook writing (I'm already collaborating on two series), and research funding.
How can you leverage your knowledge gained through hands-on work into brain-driven work? Naval architecture? Some other engineering field? Teaching? What is your passion? Was building boats a passion, or a job? Once you decide what you want to do, make it happen! Good luck!
