Any advice on a day job while starting in real estate investing?

Hello. I'll first introduce myself a bit to help you guys better understand my situation. I'm 21 years old and live in a college town a few hours outside of Chicago. I had a good paying position with a EV company that allowed me to build a good amount of reserves for investing. Unfortunately, I tore my shoulder pretty significantly and can no longer perform at that job. Right now I'm a part-time bartender but I'm making a fraction of what once I was. I do not have a degree and don't plan on getting one, however I'm in a position where I cant find a career to effectively fund my reserves or get a conventional loan. I was wondering if anyone here had any good ideas for a job that doesn't require a degree and isn't extreme manual labor? Or possibly what you guys do for a day job? I thought about becoming a home inspector or an appraiser, however I don't know if it would be wise for my investments and career to both depend on the housing market. Thanks anything helps!
