so, im clare and at school we are talking a lot about job listings. we do projects where we search on indeed for job listings, their benefits, their qualifications, and what job we wanna look for in the future but also as high schoolers.

it seems that being a math tutor entails passing a math test for at least algebra i at what I wanna look for. while i wasn’t the best at algebra i, i ended up passing. i find geometry to be a lot easier and i’m starting to get the hang of using algebra when needed. i am not among the smartest of kids my age, who are in higher classes like algebra ii and trig or maybe even pre-calculus, but i am in a sophomore class as a freshman, which still shocks people.

i was slightly more advanced (a grade above) in math since 6th grade when the teacher said I needed a challenge. i’m even worse in honors english despite being an honors student, so im definitely not gonna apply for english tutoring even if there IS a job offering for such a thing.

however, being a barista at a grocery store where they have a starbucks or something, does not require experience from what I’ve seen, but you have to quickly memorize orders, work efficiently and quickly, and i heard the job can be somewhat stressful but i do love cafés, drinks, and especially coffee!

the only place I know besides that was working with children, which they said they were hiring as early as 14 with a permit, I think??? but they were so, so rude and said they were already hiring people and that the spots were full and in a rude tone, said “you can’t just ASK someone if they hire".

where should I work?? tutor or barista? im also autistic so it may be hard for me as some people think im “too disabled” to do stuff most people can do like drive and work due to my slow reflexes, struggle to pay attention, remember things, etc.
