Paralegal
Hotel manager/administrator

I think paralegal is better for an aspie.

My cousin is a hotel manager (she's actually my Mom's boss, too). She's NT and a great people person. BUT, even she comments that she's good at the management part, budgets and supplies and keeping things running, but, she's super stressed out by employee problems. She hates the aspect of managing and refereeing the workers.
She's never mentioned keeping unhappy guests satisfied, just how much the workers stress her out and how difficult it is. It's a big issue for her, and I think it would throw me off even worse.

I liked working as a paralegal, except for the part about working with attorneys. I might still be doing it, if I'd had better luck with my first boss.

I understand you want to get out of the house--I did when I was 15, too.

You've got to be patient. I know it's difficult; I was there myself.

You're young. Don't waste your life. You have a long one, provided you don't do something stupid.

There was an episode of the "Cosby Show," where Theo was 14--all he wanted to do was to get a minimum-wage job. His father (Bill Cosby) talked him out of it. If you could find that episode, I believe it would be useful.. It's the 1st season, 1984--probably within the first 5 episodes.
