Is it a good idea to get a typing job if i suffer from carpal tunnel?

Not really: If you have CTS and it has not been fixed then getting a typing job is going to make it worse.

A member asked:
I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (through history and bending wrists). My main symptom is when typing at my computer for 40+ minutes , my palms turn red and my hands feel very hot, burning even (rather than tingling). Is this really CTS?
