Well, no, but I've been turned down for jobs within and without my career field. I seem to not be qualified enough in my field, and too much to do anything else. Besides, why would a job like that hire me when they could hire other people with less education and/or less holes in their work history because of said education. Basically, I would "cost" more because I'd be overqualified.

I physically can't carry too much weight, especially since I probably wouldn't be able to wear my wrist braces because it isn't particularly hygienic. I have weak wrists and shoulders so I'm afraid of getting hurt and having to go back physical therapy yet again. If you do decide to pursue waitressing, let me know how much lifting/carrying there actually is.
