I'd forget about anything where you had to deal with customers at all. Personally I think customers are 90% of what's wrong with most jobs out there...and the whole "smiling service" shit you're expected to adopt in the majority of these roles is annoying as all fuck...why be fake? I mean clearly, you're at work...it's not like you're having the time of your life.
The best part of my job is that I deal with ZERO customers, and yeah, it's a huge change from having to serve the masses directly.
Suggestions, if you're open to ANY kind of work:
*Pick/packing & assembly line work...you turn up in the morning, do boring and monotonous work, but there's no customers, the pay is decent, and I guess you'd build up the strength in your arms...these kind of jobs are available with very little experience.
*Get a forklift liscence, work in a warehouse and cart shit from one place to another all day. Simple work "take this, go here"...etc. The liscence (at least here) can get you simple jobs in a lot of places.
*Be a cook/chef, or just get any job in any kitchen...just make it clear you don't wanna waitress. Yeah...I'm biased towards this one, but it's all good by me. Probably not quite as easy as the two I mentioned before, and some kind of eventual certification may be desirable.
Suggestion: (not to be racist) I would advise against working for asian owned/operated establishments. In my experience, ANY family member of the bosses could take your job at any time, there's next to NO chance of promotion, and in all honesty if fucking drives me crazy when a bunch of people are talking to eachother in a language you can't underdstand...you feel rather out of place. So yeah, I'd avoid that, and to a lesser extent, south africans. They also tend to very much favour family members for promotion and hiring, even if they're completely incompetent, as I've witnessed before.
The kitchen thing is pretty decent though...but hey, I like cooking and hate customers - works for me.
*Vetinary assistant - yeah, you'd need a vet nurse kinda certification (not that hard), but if you can deal with seeing the occasional operation/death, it's a decent occupation. The customers are out the front, you're out the back.
That's all I can come up with just now.
