What job can i do?
Hey basilmarket, i wanted to ask you guys if you had any ideas on what jobs i could do. I dont want a job that makes you stand there like a cashier or one that you can make a lot of mistakes on. I want something more physical, it can even be a bit of dirty work, involve lifting stuff, transporting stuff (not with a vehicle) or something idk what.
I would be appreciative if you could come up with a few ideas.
Ps
Not a waiter

Funny thing is i was thinking about that.
[quote=Hugemuxxx]Wait when you apply do u choose the position or do they put you where ever they want to[/quote]
you apply online, and you should be able to select flow team. warning: huge list of questions. -_- but it might be worth it, it was for me, lol. if you don't wanna start at 4am every day, you could try backroom, but you won't really be helping people.
i had actually applied for sales floor 'cause i couldn't find flow team online or something, but during my interview i told them i was actually more interested in stocking. and it all worked out like that.
[quote=lettucing]well i work at target on flow team, which is basically stocking and helping with the truck unload process. the only time i deal with customers is when they need help finding something, which isn't that often so it's okay. i start at 4am, and the store opens at 8, so most of my shift doesn't even have the possibility of coming in contact with guests. not a lot of money, but retail is hiring this time of year! constantly moving.
also try warehouses. i worked in a metal warehouse once (without any knowledge) and did all the shipping stuff. got to learn how to use a forklift too. and saws. didn't stand in the same spot for very long.[/quote]

Where do you live?
If you live in New York, there is the SYEP program where they can get you work.
If not, you can try to work at a public library or a Mickey D's.

If the job also helped people that would be nice
Be a janitor. My dad made a lot of money being a boss of janitors.
skilled trades
most mistakes can be recovered from
uses your brain while still being physical
you work at different places, never the same place for too long
also depending on the path you go you could get good pay and benefits
it'll be dirty
it'll involve heavy lifting
you'd transport material, but i think every job has this in some way
i currently am an apprentice electrician for the ibew
i make 14.14 an hour
and when i top out i'll be at 35.35 an hour
i have full health care, blue cross blue shield and a special fund that pays for any medical expense that my health care does not
also i dont usually lift too heavy of things, of course there are periods of time where i do, and at the end of the day i go home satisfied in the work i have done

They could do that too, I guess. I was a busboy for a little cafe in my home town for like two months and all they had me do was clean dishes.
