I would review the many different professional jobs and see which of those interest you most. Additionally, know that it’s really hard to secure a position part time without experience and if you do then don’t expect the pay to be great right off the bat, unless it’s a specialty niche area, think open heart surgeon.
Ps- real estate law is really easy to complete as far as law is required since it’s an office job. Social work can have different positions like intake in a hospital or facility, or part time something.
Maybe there’s one on here and can speak about it.

I went to college a bit later in life. I am almost finished B”H!
What I did - and I recommend you do - is do a real serious investigation in yourself of your talents and interests, and narrow down specifically what you want to do, THEN look into how to become that - and don’t feel you MUST go to college. There are plenty of amazing jobs that don’t require college, and plenty of colleges that may require some field experience even as a volunteer to get into it. Try out a taster of something before investing. For example if you’re considering special education try out volunteering with children and young people with special needs or try being a one on one assistant or classroom assistant - you could get a job as a secretary in a medical centre or dental centre and get a taste of what that work might look like from there. Don’t be afraid to think out of the box for jobs. Frum women get suggested a lot to be teachers, occupational therapists, computer scientists etc but there’s lots of jobs you could adapt to a frum lifestyle like being an architect, for example (I know a frum architect and she LOVES her job!)
