It isn't that difficult to get a job as a book-keeper. But telecommuting would be difficult, if not impossible to find. People still like to physically see someone they hire show up to an office and work.
The most you'll get is the ability to be in the office for short periods, and do the bulk of your work from home, but that's more likely to be a contract type job where you are your own boss and have multiple book keeping clients, rather than a standard employment situation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
