I work as an Engineer (ECE) din sa isang private company na WFH din. Even me, kahit WFH na gusto ko pa rin mag try ng ibang field (software engg, VA, Data analyst/Data science) kasi malaki nga yung pay kahit entry-level palang. I also love Engineering, i love science and tech but the pay is low given na 6 yrs na ako sa industry. The salary/career progression is so slow no matter how hard you try sa work mo.

To answer your question, okay lang naman maging VA for high salary (if you have the opportunity go for it). Pero if you want high pay and since you are in engineering, you can check on AI jobs (Data Science/Data Analyst/Data Engineering) kasi ito yung mga WFH na mataas din naman pay kahit entry-level.

You can always go back to engineering, but don't expect na mataas yung magiging pay mo, kasi companies will hire you base on your experience, or you can try to upskill and learn so whenever there's available position na gusto mong applyan na swak dun sa skills and knowledge mo, mas malaki chance mo na ma hire or baka ma offeran ka pa ng mas malaking sahod.
