I’m a high school graduate who is in college right now and almost done with my second semester. What jobs should I look for since I do not have much experience? I’ve played high level sports for 10+ years and am not great at public speaking.

If you're looking for a part-time job, or a summer job, you might think about stores in your area that you'd like to work for. And go ahead and apply. Most big places now require you to apply online, but you could also ask in the store if it's more of a local organization. There might be other places besides stores, give some thought to what kind of work you'd really want to do and go for that.

I’d say the typical entry level jobs like fast food, grocery stores, some restaurant jobs as well.

Playing high level sports for that long actually says a lot about discipline, teamwork, and coachability. Those translate well to roles like operations, warehouse, fulfillment, facilities, or back of house positions where reliability matters more than public speaking. You might also look at campus roles tied to athletics or recreation since that aligns with your background.

You have a lot of skills from sports—teamwork, discipline, time management—that employers value. Look for jobs in retail, hospitality, tutoring, or entry-level office roles. Anything with clear tasks and teamwork rather than constant public speaking will suit you. Even internships or volunteer work can help build experience for the future.

My advice is to avoid fast food like the plague, because it is such a stressful environment to work in for basically no money. I would be looking for a cashier position, or a stock position in a grocery store or something.

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought. New buildings are safe and pretty spacious (relatively speaking). Downside is not really much to do around this area and food delivery is not great. Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.
