Just wanted to share my good fortune, I haven't been on in a while and for once it's because I'm doing well.
I was offered a job at a marijuana dispensary and I start training on Monday. Unfortunately for our finances, but fortunately for my mental health, the corner store I was working at let me go two days after I gave my two weeks notice. I have recently become aware of a lot of autistic traits I have, and for a long time I had been hoping to find a job with no customers. Data entry, something like that. So this job isn't exactly what I was looking for, but... Pros: -Cashiering is pretty much the whole job, there isn't a traditional sales floor to walk and keep clean -I'll always be working with only one customer or group at a time (and I've been in a lot of dispensaries and rarely see more than two people go back together) -There's two full weeks of training, the first week is in a classroom where I'll learn everything about the marijuana industry in Colorado, from laws to biology. The second week is in a store, so by the time I actually start I should know everything about the job. -Obviously the laws are strict, so I should never be put in a position where I have to balance my job responsibilities against my moral responsibilities. It won't be my job to check IDs and in any case, "I left it at home, you've seen me here before" is not a valid excuse. -The benefits are great. Discounts, and best of all employer paid insurance which I will be eligible for a year before I'll be kicked off of my mom's insurance, so I shouldn't have any gap in benefits. -I'm actually interested in the industry -There's plenty of room for advancement, I could work for these guys for life. Cons: -It's still retail. But it's not like any retail I've done before. Seems a pretty small price to pay. Anyway, my anxiety has lessened dramatically since I got the offer. I'm still planning on trying to get counseling, but at least now it's not urgent. Sent from my Coolpad 3320A using Tapatalk

Congrats on the new job!! Do you get a discount on weed? If so, how much of a discount? That would be a cool benefit if you smoked.
