I was a freight forwarder/customs broker for a few years after highschool. They all hire remote though probably for terrible salary but it's still a salary, look at Flexjobs website I know Livingston hires remote brokers and forwarders, usually called 'specialist' or 'analyst' like this: https://jobs.livingstonintl.com/job/Client-Import-Analyst-FL/758034300/ https://jobs.livingstonintl.com/job/Client-Import-Analyst-FL... it says "Home Office Florida" but does that mean once a month going there for some meeting or just being US citizen, who knows apply and find out. You could also quit and just go around to established brokers and offer your services as a home contractor.
Here's another 'import specialist' type remote job https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=ab697b4a-5399-476d-a978-04482f82ea9a&jobId=399984&lang=en_US&source=CC4 https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/... notice the preference for bachelor degree, you should go back to school. However also notice 'equivalent business experience' so apply anyway. If you're wondering how I find these, a simple bot that scrapes "careers" pages into a sqlite dbms I query for select remote and various freight forwarding keywords. I made it when I needed a new developer job and turned out to be useless as some recruiter found me anyway.
However since this pandemic is ending surely there is some kind of student loans or business startup funds being floated around, if there are take them and go to school so you have a skill. If you can create a business think about your own job what the pain points are and how you can be a contractor. There was a woman running her own business when I worked there in highschool driving around the intl airport just collecting documents and standing in line at customs offices because some clearences required it. Brokers didn't want to do it so paid her, she in turned hired a bunch of other people to do the work, just managed everything with a cellphone and got paid.
