I had the runs constantly from severe anxiety and people assumed I always had the flu so I would be sent home or worse taken off the patient's schedule which decreased hours and increased anxiety. I'm not sure what to do for a job in college since I also have slow cognitive processing speed so I could never do a fast pace job which is almost everything. Maybe a campus job at the community college would be good, where can I post on PC about campus job questions?
Also, I made dean's list and my gpa is finally over a 3.0! I'm doing so much better academically and after two years of failing classes I finally have great grades due to better stability.

Do you have financial aid....there are typically a lot of work study positions on campus...you can assist with various projects for the professors. They pay well and tend to be low key because half of your salary is government and half is from the profs funding. I honestly don't know what kind of jobs they would have at a community college because I went to a bigger university and we all did basic tasks for research labs and stuff. You would make solutions and autoclave dishes and stuff...some people did other weird stuff like measure the magnetic fields in rocks but you had to go in at midnight to do that because the buses screwed up the fields. Anyway if you do have financial aid talk to the aid office about jobs they might have a few leads.
