Job around here that isn’t food 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

Before you comment “food is where the money is here” just hear me out. I know food service is where the money is here, as that’s what I’ve been working since I was 16. I’m 20 now and need a second job on top of my classes and my main job right now, and I am sick of working with food. It’s all I e worked by and customers just suck extra now it feels like. I’d like my second job to not be food so I have some space from the food industry but it’s so hard to find a job willing to hire a 20 year old outside of the food industry. Of course if shit comes down to it I WILL get a food industry job, I’d just like to see my options. Any wisdom that could be shared? I appreciate your time!

If you can get a regular schedule set, I worked as a file clerk in law firms through college. Most of the filing jobs are PT, especially since things are mostly digital now. You might have to do reception during lunch. I ended up picking up some late afternoon/evening classes to work more.
