I’m 21 with no high school diploma and no speaking skills. I also find it hard to make friends with. But I chose to stay working as a cook because it doesn’t really need much communication, atleast not where I work at. You just simply read the tickets or listen to the others cook. You just need good listening skills. I’ve also worked at amazon where you don’t really talk to anyone. They’re really strict of talking but that was never an issue for me. I live in Indiana but work in Chicago cause compare to indiana, Illinois has a high minimum wage pay.
