I have been told I should try finding a data entry job.

It's hard finding a job where there aren't any people...

I know this might sound crazy, but a bar job would be an excellent idea. It's just selecting the appropriate place to work. Over here in the UK (not sure where you're from?) there are tons of pubs dotted around all over the place and during the day the only people that visit them are older men that have retired and are usually widowed. What you tend to find is that these fellas have no-one to go home to, which works both ways:

1. They're used to sitting on their own and will quite happily leave you to do your own thing if you aren't confident enough to engage them.

2. If you want to talk to them, they'll be happy of the conversation. Believe me I've done it and it makes a hell of a difference to their day, something that definitely makes you feel good.

It also has the benefit of building your confidence up, so that you may gradually feel you could cope better around more intense situations. Of course, I'm not suggesting getting a job in a busy city bar, but just a quiet local pub somewhere that is nice and relaxed. When I suffered with panic attacks I was fortunate enough to have a job working in a pub and it really helped me to grow, rather than stagnating and avoiding the problem, which as everybody knows, never solves anything.

Cleaning jobs work best for me. I've tried a couple of other jobs; sales assistant, data entry stuff, etc, but cleaning jobs have always been my favourite. Mainly because they're the only jobs that I don't dread going to. I've got a couple at the moment, and I think I may actually be enjoying them, because I barely have to say a word to anyone, and I'm allowed to put my headphones in, so cause the works so easy too it's just like spending a couple of hours listening to music, podcasts, audio books, whatever, and getting paid for it!

Cleaning is not bad, but can be quite boring, and lonely sometimes. And it is not always easy, can be pretty hard work, depending on what you do. The worst thing is if you happen to be tired and low in energy that day, then it seems like you can't cope but must go on. I prefer cleaning to many other jobs, like office for example. It's also good you don't have a boss over yourself and if a family dismisses you, you just find another cleaning but never loose everything. The problem is, I can't find even cleanings at the moment. Depends on the place and area a lot as well I think, but you can never know until you try.

I also do mostly cleanings because I feel too stupid or untrained for other jobs. I have no idea what else I could do. ..

You need jobs that force you to socialize. Its like your saying you want to have SA forever. The more you keep avoiding it the worst it gets...

That depends on your skills/education. If you have no skills/education, and have serious SA, YOU ARE ****ED! Just remember, we will all be dead one day. It really won't matter 50 years from now.

Well, I think if you have serious SA, skill and educations are not going to help much at all. If you can't interview well or connect with people, its extremely difficult to get those good jobs that require education or skills. I'm way over educated and I have had to get jobs with little to no education/skill requirements because I do so horribly bad with interviews.

The exception to that is perhaps something like engineering where its more common place to be socially weird or anxious.

I'm starting to worry that this is my problem and not just the bad economy- I have a master's degree, but nobody seems to want to hire me, and I'm currently working two jobs with no education or skills requirements. ::(:
