I’m trying to leave my fast food and custodian job, bur I can’t find much on the market that I’m looking for or at least qualified for. Unfortunately most the jobs, tend to be the ones listed above, and I avoid them like the plague. I really don’t like sales and retail, but I’m more introverted and don’t like chit chatting or spend all day trying to talk to random people. I tried telemarketing, but they wanted to basically bug people at home and mislead them (without lying to them), and I never want to do that again. Same goes with fast food and retail. I stay away from work from home jobs, because I don’t like being trapped in my house all day. I have a degree in Mass Communications, Minor in History, and a certificate in Automation Robotics, but still never hear back from places I apply to. I would like get a job that involves writing, technology, lab work, or animals. The only ones I end hear back from tend to be in retail, I don’t think being stressed out trying to communicate with people all day is worth $15 an hour. That and I refuse to be dishonest or mislead people. I like animals, but not feminine enough to groom dogs and paint there toe nails. I though about going to trade school, but haven’t really found anything I’m sure I would do as a career for the next 40 years. Plus, my GPA (2.7) is bit too low for Graduate School programs I’m interested in, and I wished I did better on the GRE. Been trying for awhile and not having much luck. I did get a kennel for a while, but got let go.
Sorry, Custodian. Believe it or not, Custodisn is an actual word from spellcheck.
Actually in retail you can earn much more with a commission job. And you can work your way up to management and beyond if you have a degree.
Lostaccount, I’m confused. Did you not read what I wrote above? I explained why I don’t like working in retail, I’m not good at dealing with people constantly. So was there another point you were trying to make, because I’m not pursuing a career in retail.
My reply about retain had to do with your suggestion of low pay. It does not need to be low pay. I’m not suggesting that you work retain.
You have been stuck for a long time. You should be seeing a therapist or life coach because threads and posts on this site have not helped unstick you.
Retain? You mean retail?
What suggestion of low pay? I didn’t make any mention of low pay?
