I’m a union tradesworker
Go down to your union hall for whatever trade you’re interested in and apply
Working in a job where you have to deal with people all day is stressful

When I was with the cable company, I would troubleshoot customers' cable boxes. If we were unable to resolve this issue, it left us no choice but to schedule an appointment for a technician to go to their home.
Appointments were anywhere from 1 to 4 days away. Whenever I get a Black person on the phone, I would give them the absolute earliest appt date/time possible. However, if an entitled cac calls in, I would purposely give them an appointment 4 days away....even if the schedule is wide open.
....much to their chagrin
"I'm sorry. That's the earliest we have"
Nice little payback for my people

I DREAD EVERY DAY GOING TO WORK, I WORK AT A CENTRALIZED HELPDESK OF SORTS
The pay is beyond good (in comparison to normal IT helpdesk roles) but being stuck at a helpdesk for a pharmaceutical company from 8am-5pm is the worst, I need to get outta here man

Can you tell us some retail stories OP? 
When you tell someone to check something in the back for you, do they really do it?
How come the Walmart online will tell the item is in stock but then you go the store and it is not there?

Is it hell cuz the people u are dealing with are a$$holes or cuz they’re just frustrating to deal with due to ignorance of simple technology?
a combination of both and its only worst because i work for a heavy scientific based company and a lot of the software is unique in nature, couple that with the arrogance of scientist who have phD who think they know better does not help

I can imagine. That's freaking with patients and their families who are customers also.
I work in healthcare, but corporate, so there's no patients in my building, but I have worked in the hospitals many a times.

I did that in college. Hated it. But, I was like 20 then so it was the best paying job I would be able to get at the time.

I had this exact same job back in 2003 working for Comcast. Not only was it second shift, but they split up my off days and I worked every weekend. This was by far the worst job I ever had due to the insufferable customers on the phone.
