If you would like to work with Handicaps, I highly suggest a profession in nursing...you may have to go to school for a few years but you get a lot out of it and you can transfer your waiting/people/social skills over. I just warn you that in the first few years you deal with a lot of crap, but it gets better, just like waiting!

Think about what you like to do. Do you like to garden? Look for a job in a garden shop. Do you like to read? Maybe work in a book store. There is a site called continuingcareers.com. Check it out for more tips on changing careers.

Good luck!

If you have the experience dealing with the public, try hotels. They are always looking for freindly outgoing people. Its a steady job and usually good benefits, also most hotels always look within for promotions. In no time you could become a manager.

I thank-you very much for your information. But I'm not interested in selling. I'm not a very good salesperson.

A mother of friend of mine was a waitress for many years like you, low pay no benefits. She got a job in the hospital working with the meals delivery initially, then as a nutritionalist. The job paid better, and she also got good benifits
