Suggestion
I have had a job, I used to work in a restaurant as a waiter. It was a really busy restaurant and I would be on my feet for long hours. It was a really enjoyable experience, though, for the most part, and it helped me a lot in other areas of my life, too. Before I started working, I was terrible at organising my time, and learning what to prioritise. Thanks to that job, I’m much more adept at those skills, these days.
