i gain experience by working, that’s true, but I’m kinda bad at everything. i can’t do sports, so i can’t be like a junior coach if that exists. i can’t be a swim instructor, i can’t swim. i might be able to be a jr. camp counselor but i don’t know cpr or first aid, and what if there’s a pool?? barista involves quick work and having to “go, go, go” and i have to take a while to process things. i also don’t have the best, most detail-oriented brain and memory.
there’s not really any interest i have that i have extensive knowledge in, and while i do want a job, some of them prefer babysitting experience, which i’ve never done due to not having any kids in my neighborhood.
i could be a tutor because the one im looking at involves passing at least algebra i, and a review says high school students might not even have to teach high school-level math, so i’m probably good for that, but someone online said since i get distracted easily due to my disability and since i don’t know math up and down, inside and out, that they wouldn’t even pay me to help their kid because i would be so bad, but i wont listen to them.
what’s a good first job? where should i workkkk??? i’ve been thinking a lot about this but i’m so, so nervous!!!


Learning CPR and first aid (and getting certified in those topics) is cheap and ridiculously easy. Look up your local Red Cross organization, since they probably offer local courses in it that are either free or very cheap. And even if it’s not useful to your job it can be very helpful. I’ve performed the Heimlich maneuver (it whatever they call it now) on my wife on two separate occasions when she was choking on some food (due to her thrust bring sworn with a cold and her biting off a bit too much pizza).
Here’s are some ideas for jobs for younger people with limited to no work experience:
Good luck.
