Job hunting is depressing, any recommendations? I'm currently just going for the grunt jobs. Retail assistant, warehouse, whatever. There's loads of jobs that I get ready to apply for because they sound great and then I see the "requires excellent communication skills" and I'm just like, well shit. :/ I understand people will say, just apply for them anyway! Why though? They want excellent communication skills and my skills aren't skills at all. I have excellent communication flaws if anything. Anyway, it's making me think I should go back to school haha. What careers would be good for someone who's totally shit at talking? I can get over my stuttering fears, but I can't get over my stutter. I'm always gonna have it, so I should perhaps go into a field where talking isn't required to get the job done. What fields would they be though? Thanks. :)
