My job is so slow and boring every day. I hate when there is nothing to do. A lot of the time I'm literally just standing there, doing nothing. I'm thinking of looking for a new one, but I don't know what I would want to do. Right now I'm a cashier, and it's a part time job because I also go to school. All of the people are nice, and it pays pretty well, but I just want something more fast paced. Does anyone have any suggestions for what kind of job I could look for? Something fast paced that makes the time go by quickly. It would be extra awesome if it was a job that I could sit down for too, because standing all day hurts my feet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I went to school and got certified for medical assisting. It's fast paced and always exciting. My favorite part is getting to help and connect with patients. However like any job it has its down sides. Like getting stuck working the front desk. Pretty much any place you apply for wants both front desk and MA experience. Sometimes it can be unnerving learning how to do blood draws and injections but once you learn, it's fun. Besides most places now have someone hired specifically for drawing blood if it's not your thing. You also see some exciting stuff that sometimes you need a strong stomach for. But I'm fine with that! I always liked gross stuff lol.

Just look at the job you have now as a stepping stone. You'll eventually finish school and land a job you're comfortable with. Also remember that with a fast pace job comes stress. I can't even count the times I've left work in tears or cried on the spot. But that's part of my anxiety I have somewhat under control at the moment. I had to take time off work for awhile because of it but right now I financially can't afford to sit around so I got my butt back on meds and waited till I was stable to go back to work. I'm BP2 with PTSD and anxiety. I've thought about disability but it's just not an option right now.

Hope you find something worth your while! Make it a goal for the new year. Good luck!

Call Center. You get to sit on your butt and the day goes by fast with the constant barrage of calls. That is unless you despise being on the phone. I love talking to friends on the phone but have no desire to do it for a living. But if you can type it's usually an entry level job.
