I might be able to do stocker and stuff, assuming it was just stocking and things of that nature. Problem is, many places seem to want you to do stocking, do the cash register, and things like that. It's like they're mixing the non-interactive with the interactive and I can't just say "non-interactive only". This isn't the case everywhere, but it's more of a pain in the levels I CAN probably still get, as my now about 3 year gap since college is ruining everything else (BTW, I have a Bachelors of Science for Computer Science (though my skills are going to seed due to wondering if I'll be hired in my field. I had kept them up for the first 1 to 2 years out of college, but after that, I started to second guess myself and really started to let them go due to wondering if I was unhireable in my field or doubting if the field was for me.) I had started to aim lower, but I'm in a rural area where it seems it's just truck driving (don't have a license, which is part my family's fault as they are kind of wondering if I can ever drive due to my concentration issues and have cast doubt on that. That and I'd have to pay for the car insurance and stuff and I don't have all this dough. My NT brother did too, but as he's NT, he didn't have the trouble I did and got hired at a couple of places.) Anyway, I have tried to get data entry and stuff but am being ignored. Maybe it's the way my resume is laid out but I think it's the huge workforce supply and that they can ignore someone with my big gap when they are more recent people with a smaller gap.

(Also, to be quite blunt, I was busting my butt in college to do my best to AVOID these lowest level jobs like retail and stuff. That was the POINT of all the effort I did.)

Anyway, it seems that there is always this blend of customer interaction and non-customer interaction. I get that even the "non-interaction" ones have some interaction, and that would be true even if I'd landed those IT jobs I was after, but it seems at the lower level, you have to do 2 or so jobs in one and one of them always ends up involving quite a bit of customer interaction.

As for call center work, I doubt it would work. Kept hearing it's stressful, they are crazy about quotas, and all this, and also, I am nervous to call people. I mean, I have to really push myself to call someone on a job (especially one I think I'm not going to get anyway) to follow up. I mean, I have to work up a lot of courage just to call for political causes that I'm VERY passionate about and would die for (literally).
