I have a job that I think is pretty good for someone with SA. I work at a hospital and in the medical records department, I file loose medical sheets into the right patient's charts all day long. 🙂 I don't know, maybe some people might get really bored with that job but I enjoy it. I prefer it than being in front of a computer all day.

I was also thinking about being a Medical Records Clerk while I went to school for Medical Coding.

Did you need any credentials or experience when getting the medical records job? I have no experience and never been in the medical field before.

I worked at a veterinary clinic since I was 16 so when the social anxiety issues popped up it was already familiar as were my coworkers. Eventually it got to be too much as there's a lot of interaction with clients at this clinic but for the time I was only needed in surgery and cleaning kennels or developing x-rays, well, that was perfect. Just me and animals.

Now with agoraphobia I'm selling prints of my photography. It's not enough to live off of but it's something.

a video store so you can watch a movie and look busy when your not helping a customer....

I work as a programmer mostly from home. I go into the office maybe once a fortnight to catch up with my boss and maybe fix some admin issues. I don't know that it is necessarily a good thing though. It might be nice to avoid human contact but it also makes it more stressful when you have to do it. I think it's probably a good thing to have to go out and engage with people every day.

I have nothing to do for the summer and I'm so nerve-wrecked by a simple filling in of an application to volunteer at the library. I'm 20 yrs old and in college. I have never worked for anyone in my life. I'm really scared. There's going to be an interview process and I don't even know if I'm going to get picked in the first place. It's only if there's room. I don't even know how to write my own resume properly.

I like pet shops but god I would hate being a part time sales associate. Can you imagine the long lines that pile up on one cashier? I've seen it before. I dunno how they keep their cool when the situation turns on them like that. If I could work in a pet shop I'd want to not work at the cash register but just be downstairs somewhere in the pet store unpacking items and stuff. What's that job position called??

At the moment I am making money selling on ebay, and I'm quite happy with it.


If I could find a way to do that I would love to.
The thing is. I don't have any money to ship anything.
So I'm not even gonna do research on selling things online

Could you try local listings like on Kijiji to avoid shipping? I just sold my first DSLR for a few hundred after trying that out. It's quite satisfying not to mention quick money. 🙂
