A normal job's requirements (8-13$ an hour):
- 6 months of experience in such and such
- 6 months of experience in such and such
- 6 months of experience in such and such
- need to be positive/outgoing
- (option) associate's degree in such and such
- need to be able to stand for long periods of time
Seriously? I meet hardly any of those requirements!
One thing I don't like is that they require you to smile and be positive. What happens when I feel bad? Do they want me to fake smile and act as if everything is fine?
I also don't like that most of these jobs require 6 months of experience in certain areas. "But it isn't that bad" Yes it is! I haven't worked any full-time jobs, so I don't have the experience they require me to have! Worse yet, I can't get experience because all the normal jobs require me to have experience, so I'm stuck in a rut!
Don't get me started on the optional associate's degree in whatever, because I simply don't have enough money to go to college, and I can't get the money either because I can't get a job!
Then there is that "need to be able to stand long periods of time". The only requirement I actually meet.
After all that, there is one problem I haven't addressed with these normal jobs: they don't pay enough! I'm not complaining, I'm simply calling the facts. If I do get a job, the money I would be spending on insurance and other things would far more than the money I would be earning in a job that pays 13$ an hour!
This is the frustrations that come with getting jobs nowadays, turns out it's not as a easy as people tell me. People just don't understand how difficult it is in getting myself a job. Oh well, I'll just keep on trying, though I have a feeling when I finally get a job I'll end up getting fired because I'm a professional at screwing up, and most jobs these days hardly tolerate screw-ups.

I have a nearly impossible finding a minimum wage job I can really do without issues, so I can relate here. Being that I'm physically weak and absurdly shy towards people I don't know well.
I certainly wouldn't be able to keep a happy face either. Seriously, if you look at my school pictures, my smile looks unbelievably fake, and really creepy... Not to mention I'm depressed most of the time anyways...
Nonetheless, at least if you can keep it (which from what I heard they're luckily much more lenient than they sound like), you get paid, which is really nice, especially if you're poor like me.

@PoisonClaw I remember trying to apply for a position like that...
What's even the f***ing point? How is anyone supposed to get a job when every job requires you to have a job already? Or a job that probably won't hire somebody who isn't already working somewhere else? It's stupid.
