You can work in any capacity as you need. Remember that there is no job to small or insignificant if it is done for the right reasons and is legal. Try to find something that you enjoy doing, it makes you feel good at what you are doing and can help keep you motivated along the way. You are a special person that has a lot to give to the world!
Thankyouu sir I appreciate your answer!!<333

Katherine,
Your first job does not have to be complicated. When I look back to my first job, I used to work at a gas station washing windows and pumping gas. As part of the responsibilities, I had to make deposits, count our money for the shift, track gallons sold, deal with customer issues when they got upset. I learned a lot, then took that experience into retail. Started as Head Cashier and being a Closer. More responsibility and learning more about retail. Now I work as in Customer Service as a Supervisor. It's not about where you start, it's about where you plan on going and what you gain from each step of your journey.

Hi, Katherine!
It's really big of you to want to work in order to support your family. There are plenty of jobs that seem simple that you can acquire without a background or higher education, but no job is simple to the point where it is small, or it doesn't matter. Every job is an important job, and you may end up finding a true passion within these jobs!
As a first job, you may want to try going in to the service/ food industry (waiting tables)! Many people do this throughout their lives, and many find it very rewarding. I worked in service for quite a few years, and made a lot of friends at the restaurants I've worked at and definitely developed a big sense of responsibility and new skills. It is a lot more challenging than it seems (depending on the place you work), but that can be extremely rewarding.
If the food industry isn't for you, you can even try sales/ retail/ selling clothes! This is another job that could be more challenging than it appears, but you will definitely grow from it. :)
Don't stress yourself out! You've taken the first big step, and are reaching out to see what you can do. Good for you for taking that initiative. Now, ponder what it is you can see yourself doing, look online for places near you that are hiring, and start applying. Don't think too far ahead, and don't take on more than you can handle. You got this!
Best of luck with everything! <3
