I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what kind of job I can get here. I'm not very good at a lot of things here and you don't have power core generators or water filtration systems to maintain and that's what I trained for.

I'm not very strong.

And I don't know a lot of things.

I've been trying but I can't figure anything out.

	Think you could figure out making coffee? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I haven't had it before, it's not on my list. But I can try to make it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's incredibly vague. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry. I'm from a Vault because there were bombs where I'm from and I only had thin watery gruel to eat for my entire life until I got here and now I have to be careful and add things to my diet really slowly so nothing bad happens. So I don't know how to make coffee. Or anything. But I could try. I'm pretty good at mechanics. Is that better? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe you could see about going back to school or something? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	boyfrom36 2024-05-20 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. I think I would need to start at the beginning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyfrom36 2024-05-20 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	I only know what is useful for those jobs. There are many gaps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goddamnvampire 2024-05-20 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, okay. I thought you learned all kinds of stuff and then narrowed it down as you learned more. That's gotta be annoying. I could help you learn stuff. I gotta work out how I can finish High School anyway so if I got books, you could read those. If you wanted. This isn't helping with job stuff, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyfrom36 2024-05-20 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah I feel like I don't know anything here. That would be really good. You don't mind explaining things to me too? No but it's okay. It's still helping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What about a job at a swimming pool? They must need their water filtered. You might have to do other things too, (Reply to this) (Thread)

	boyfrom36 2024-05-21 07:59 am UTC (link)
	That's a good idea. I'll search for swimming pools to see if they need a mechanic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Collect stories. But I don't think that's a job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think it depends on how you mean it.

Listening to people and collecting their stories? There could be work with journalism or research. Or in a complaints department, but I doubt you want to hear stories about how someone's sneakers failed to meet their expectations.

Collecting them into an anthology? Maybe there's something similar. Like being the librarian who puts up displays. Have you seen those? Like if you liked this book, you might like these other books. Or if you're interested in this topic, you might want to read these books. Or working in the library in general.

Does any of this help?

	I think the first one. I like hearing other people's stories. But I don't know anything else about research or journalism, just listening. It does help! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stacking shelves at Roxxcart's pretty easy. Mind-numbing, some might call it. But you don't need any special skills. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If there is, I haven't seen them. I clock in, do what needs doing, and then I clock out. And then they pay me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am hiring at Erwin's Cafe, formerly known as Sixth Street. I'm doing renovations and could use extra help there too, if you're interested. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I saw you posted that but I didn't know if I would be any good for that. I don't even know what coffee tastes like. Or what a barista is. Or how to renovate things. (Reply to this) (Parent)
