Jobs that have a lower cognitive demand than uni but higher cognitive demand than retail?
I fear I need direct instructions but not to the point of monotony.
Admin jobs. Requires the chutzpah to insist on people following procedures. Most admin jobs are about corralling information so you can find it again. Plus some phone skills. And you learn real quick how to drive printers and photocopiers etc. And the intricacies of the bowels of Australia Post and courier companies. This could actually be a turn off. But the skills come in handy almost anywhere.
Most grad jobs really. And there's no homework. That actually makes a huge difference, or it did to me. It's not hanging over you the whole time.
