<prompt> Human: Her and I are both in undergrad, and due to her chronic illness she cant comfortably work in retail. She has financial support from her parents, but hates using it because they are very working class maybe 50kyear in terms of income. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what sort of employment opportunities might fit around someone who has recurring migraines and kidney stones both happen around 2 times a year and take at least 6 weeks to recuperate. I dont know if this is the right place to ask these sorts of questions but, Ive seen employment posts, so I figured it was worth a shot. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. If it is, could someone direct me to where a question like this might be more appropriate?EDIT: There are a lot of replies now, so figured Id say that I will read them all, but I dont know if Ill be able to reply to them all. Thanks for the advice. Shes looking into freelancing now and is going to talk to her GP soon about what to do. Also, we will both be working on maintaining our ambitions but being realistic, so we appreciate the comments on Grad School. We will both make plans B through Z just in case something happens, since things always happen. Thanks for giving us the advice!  <response>: I think the biggest thing is having her aggressively work with her doctors on a better management plan. Then she needs to work on finding jobs. Keep in mind that academia is very ablest, and that there is a high chance of spending years on contract with the hope of a real job maybe one day if. And if you win contracts and then spend half that time sick...? So better plans, please. Regarding the migraines, she might find that complementary medicine can help bridge the gap between conventional medication and symptom relief. Personally, I find my relief medications bring me to maybe 35 function. If I use an aromatherapy product on top of that Im at 45 function. Just enough to drag myself into work, and work with the lights really low.And regarding jobs, anything that lets her work from home. Some call centers, freelancing, self publishing, etsy stuff.
