Remote/office work in town

Recently my physical health has greatly diminished and I find myself unable to do my previous job. Does anyone know of any companies hiring remote workers or even office jobs that aren’t physically intensive in the area? I’m not really sure what to do as I’m still a fairly young adult and I don’t really want to be on disability for the rest of my life from such a young age. Any help is appreciated :)

At 19? I'm really sorry. That's going to be a rough slog. You're just starting out and it's going be pulling at you for quite a while.

Do go to Worksource and talk to the STEP program; they may be able to suggest something.

Worksource told me im SOL in this area. Advisor told me I'm smart enough to go get my PhD or start my own business...

Oof. I'm sorry. That's much less helpful than I expected them to be.

They are helpful for finding lower wage jobs, for those that don't have a completed higher education, and labor involved jobs.
