If you rely on a screen reader for your daily work then you might qualify
for a "scholarship" for the deque university training. See
https://dequeuniversity.com/scholarships

Take the classes and practice then apply for a testing job. Lots of
companies hire accessibility testers. Some companies focus solely on doing
testing for other customers and some companies want in-house testers. I
don't want to advertise directly on this forum so send me a private message
if you want info about my company. I'll also give you ideas of other
companies but I don't want to advertise for them on this forum either
