Hello everyone,
For reasons I won’t get into here, I’m looking for a minimum wage job where I would still have enough downtime to self-study an online course I’m doing. I’ve been thinking something like this might be possible in a receptionist style scenario. Has anyone done this before? What sorts of jobs are good for this? I’m gessing it’s probably jobs where they are looking for a person to pay just to have someone on-site and on-call…

    Hmm I guess. How many hours did you have to do this a day to scrape by? Did it get too repetitive?

      It gets very repetitive, but if you’re solely using it as a means to an end for schooling, then it’s manageable.

      And even a full time 8x5 or 4x10 truly only takes maybe 2-4 hours to get things done, so then you have the rest of the time to study.

      My career is in a sort of glorified data entry (GIS for a utility company), and it’s super relaxed most of the time.
