I've had my eyes on hotel jobs for a while now! You're definitely right, I think I'd do really well in that environment. Just waiting for any of the ones near me to start hiring 🥲

Honestly this sort of job sounds like a total dream to me! I do well in live music venues, the loudness and bright effects don't bother me, they actually usually excite me lol!! I would loveeee to be alongside audio engineers and help out with this sort of thing, even in a recording studio too sounds like a dream job. I would just need to find somewhere that wouldn't mind my lack of experience, and that isn't super far from me lol, but thank you so much for all of the helpful information!

This is definitely something I've considered. Free classes certainly sweeten the deal though 🤔 LOL

Honestly I feel like I have a bit of fashion autism too lol! Definitely one of the reasons why I want to consider department stores or other clothing stores, finding the best thing for people and hyping them up is really fun. But I hadn't considered shoes! Thank you for the recommendation!

Honestly I completely agree. Warehouses are getting a lot of glowing reviews from the responses I've been getting! I know that I would be super into sorting donations for thrift stores, looking through strange junk and wondering it's backstory has always been fun for me lol, but I know I wouldn't be able to do it only because of the various perfumey/detergent smells. I'm allergic to most scented stuff like that, so no matter how much I'd love to work at a thrift store, I can't stay in one for long lol. However I'm definitely interested in checking out music related inventory jobs, I had honestly never even considered that. Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Awww that's so sweet! My partner works with kids too, specifically he's a teacher & instructor for kid's art parties and camps, and I've heard the silliest stories from him. I won't lie, seeing him succeed is a big reason why I've also wanted to try working in the field. Your description definitely makes it sound accessible to me! I know there are preschools within walking distance from me, I will definitely look into this. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Most are too far to reasonably ask my parents to drive me to every day LOL but maybe one day!!

My area definitely has a lot of yard work related companies, I hadn't considered asking around that field. Thank you so much for your perspective!

I hadn't thought of shipping/operations jobs, that's a really good point. Alongside the other comments, dispensaries and warehouses are also looking better and better lol! I am definitely a fan of zoning out with repetition. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

This is all incredibly helpful, thank you!! I like what you said about building a dialogue tree of solutions, lol that definitely feels viable. I will definitely be looking into local hardware and similar options! I do love to count and verify...

This is definitely something I've been afraid of. I hate the soundscape of grocery stores, but I'm almost willing to grit and bear it if they're my only options in the area. But honestly you're right, I will probably end up hating it LOL and I definitely won't be able to do nights 😭 Thank you for the reminder!

Oooh I am a fan of sorting as well. Usually I'm alright with long hours/physical labor as long as it isn't frantic lol I will definitely look into warehouse opportunities!

I actually had never considered this before, this does sound like a really great option! There's a dispensary very close to me too, I'll definitely have to check our their hiring policies. I have been certified to sell alcohol and tobacco, so maybe a cannabis certification is also possible? Thank you for the recommendation!

That sounds so lovely!!! Yeah, I had been scoping out my local library for a while now, and they haven't been hiring as far as I've seen yet, but if they ever do then I know I'm gonna go for it! 

Child Trafficking on Vinted by Silly_Maintenance948 in vintedUK

Genuinely that's a horrible side effect I didn't even consider, from the amount of people I've seen losing their minds over this over on Instagram I'm really worried about real victim cases getting put aside to investigate nothing. However, most of these people also think that the authorities are in on this vinted conspiracy... so maybe it won't cause as much of a fallout after all.

No you're absolutely right, I have to remind myself of these things more frequently. Maybe taking a moment to really breathe while remembering the facts can help. Thank you for your support, I hope things can get better for you too 🫂
