This is a great question and I appreciate your candor. Having been through a similar stage w/ my tech career (I was trying a switch to the art business), I think there several things that meet your requirements. You said you're ok with teaching and helping people remotely. There is s*ton of money in that. I did it with Shopify and other platforms. You can hate the platform (I surely did) and still help people (who wind up happy) and you can charge a lot. If you can find a niche where you know the platform (ie: your average skills are amazing to the biz owner who has none), you can charge $100/hr and work the 2-3 hour day you want and probably be fine, depending on your spending. The premise we used for Shopify was that, by teaching you, we got you "off the teat," so the teaching was high value and we charged accordingly. Did everything through Zoom-type meetings.
