The thought of getting a job makes me anxious

Post Reply New Topic

I want to get a job someday, but thinking of getting a job makes me anxious. I think that there will be a lot of people where I would maybe work, and I would have to work after school too, which means I would have limited time to talk to people online. :/ Any advice about how to tackle this?

With all curiousity,

The working world can be daunting to Aspies. I have a part-time job, but I get along with everybody there so it's OK.

I assume you want a job between your school hours because you want to earn a bit of money. Maybe just look for a job that's just a small amount of hours, a couple of days a week, that you can do after school, like a cleaning job or something. Chances are you're less likely to have to mix with people when in a cleaning job.
I know it isn't much but it'd be a start, and you will have a bit of money in your pocket.
If talking to people online is something you like to do in your free time, getting a part-time job for only 2 or 3 afternoons a week will still allow you to have your free time as well, so that you can still spend most your free time online.

Good luck.
