All I've managed to do was graduate high-school... It's amazing I even accomplished that, honestly. Not that I'm stupid or anything -- but both me and my brother were treated horribly by teachers.

The only thing I've got going for me are my 4 years of volunteer work, but I think that's a pretty good reference.
I'm sorry if I've come off rude at any point. I just think you have great experience that could land you a job.It's definitely imposing to get into the work force. I just recommend running your resume by more than 1 other person.

try one of the smaller stores at a mall, most of those are not labour-intensive or very busy

Oh no, don't worry. I'm really hard to offend but I tend to just speak a bit boldly so it comes off as me being upset, but I'm fine. We cool.

That is good advice. The thing is that I don't really have much of a resume to begin with :0 I really just talk about all the things I do as a volunteer and how I believe that could be of use to wherever I am applying.
It's just a crazy time so even with a really good resume it can be difficult to get in places. I'll be patient. I just thought it was kind of ironic how people seem to want you to have job experience even if you're applying for your first job.

4 years of volunteer work is valuable, that shows youre willing to stick with things for long periods

Ain't no way I'm gonna make it through vet school lol

It's super expensive, there's only like 33 schools in the US for it so you have to start applying early if you're gonna get in, and the payout for being a vet is one of the worst in terms of compared to the debt from school.
I am a huge anatomy buff and performing surgery on an animal would be super cool (I did dissect an owl on two occasions), but I just don't see myself being able to do it full time, at lost not in the foresseable future. If I had no anxiety or goals I want to accomplish outside of a career, I would even totally do autopsies on people if I could -- but it ain't a perfect world and I got to play with the cards I was dealt while aiming to get better.

But I would love being able to do something with animals. I'd never work a day in my life... Wildlife rehabilitation will probably be what I ultimately get in to.
I want to be able to work with a lot of different types of animals throughout my life. Right now I'm doing birds of prey. I'd also love to do wolves someday, and if I ever have to travel south it'd be rad working with gators for a while.

We'll see where it goes.

It helps to talk confidently too for a job interview. No second guessing words. But really your best bet is to work at a supermarket or something like Walmart first before trying for a better job.

I think even something like the wildlife stuff requires a degree of some kind. I'm pretty sure you don't need a degree to help out vets though. There should be both paid and unpaid jobs for that.

Yeah, that's my plan. I turned in 7 applications just the day before I made this topic.

Some of the wildlife stuff does require a degree, some doesn't. I think I could do okay with getting a 4 year degree, the problem is being able to keep a full-time job. My anxiety and shit is so bad that I'm probably going to need social security like my uncle does, at least for a while. I think someday I can get better and accomplish more, but it's still a while a ways and I need to be patient with myself or else I'll fall back into a pretty bad place.
In the mean time I will get a part time job where I can and see how it goes. I'm hopeful it will go well.

Honestly, my actual goal is to go to use my artistic skill to go to school for animation. I have so many stories that I would love to animate and publish. It's my dream. I'm going to start making comics in a year or two just on like DeviantArt or some shit. Probably do a bunch of pages but never upload them till I get the confidence :p
Anyway, that's what I always saw myself becoming, even as a little kid. It's like a calling...

You could attempt doing both if you want. At least the schooling part unless money is an issue.

I have no artistic skills whatsoever. Any of my "art" wasn't real attempts though.
