Hi guys, I’ve been trying to find work for the summer. I work as a barista on campus right now but my shop closes over the summer so I’m looking for something else. It’s been a struggle because I have a hard time standing or walking around for very long and most options around here require a lot of movement. I’m a college student and will be in one summer class but it shouldn’t interfere with work much. Do y’all have any suggestions on types of work to look into?

get compression socks and good insoles if you can! im on my feet all day and i survive through inserts, compression socks, good shoes and painkillers. A desk job or remote work would be good. Tell them you might need to take occasional small breaks too, or need a chair instead of standing.

I'm also a college student, i def understand the struggles of trying to find a job that works for my joints! My sister has a job at this indoor cycling place, but she is just the desk person, so I feel like something like that would work well for you! She mainly just orients customers to the classes and manages the lobby, etc. Most of the time it's just sitting. I feel like a front desk job or something similar would be good to look into!
