I think working at something one would like to work at and would enjoy/do well in would be the best job for someone with BPD; one would like the actual subject/work so that might cause less "friction"/problems that might trip one up emotionally? Just working at any old job one can get without trying to get close to what one would "secretly" like could cause disappointment and maybe set one up to fail because it wasn't right to begin with.

my dream job would be working in a bank. air conditioning (shoe store's ACs are all out and it's like 90 degrees outside so we're inside baking...), only having to talk to people from behind a desk, not have to worry about helping them find stuff...and making some REAL money instead of minimum wage ******** (it's $7 here).
then, in the meantime, i'll get a degree in accounting and make even more money with that.

DreamAd; why not get a job in a medium to large accounting firm as a receptionist when you move (should pay at least the $7, but depending on the town could pay $8-$10) and go to school at the same time to study accounting in an accredited online program; the accounting firm (if you liked them) would jump at moving you up their ladder to better jobs as you learned more (administrative assistants earn $15-$30 an hour) and you'd have "built in" people to ask for help if you did not understand some point in your school work.
