Idk if this is the right comm, if not, please do not hesitate to beat me over the head with a large stick.

Necessary background: without doxxing myself, I'm 21, I live in the US, in a red state, and I have hella ADHD. I've only ever had two jobs in my life, one when I was sixteen, and one when I was nineteen, both in the food service industry. I live with my dad and stepmom but I've been paying for college with inheritance/social security money I saved up from my mom who passed away a bit ago. Anyways I'm taking this semester full time and I don't have enough in my bank account to pay for it and I REALLY don't want to take out a loan. My family is willing to help out this time but I need a job for future semesters. I have zero work skills and I don't want to get a job in the food industry again since last time was one of the worst periods of my life and I genuinely wanted to 300gorillion myself. Since I have ADHD my motivation and executive functioning are both pretty awful so I'm scared to get a job while I'm also taking a semester of college but it's looking like that's what I'm gonna have to do anyways.

What do I do? Does anybody have suggestions on what would be a good work environment that doesn't involve food but is still entry-level/wouldn't involve working for like Amazon or some shit (although monopolization will inevitably have every job mean working for Amazon so maybe that's not as worrisome as it seems).

Thank you in advance, sorry if it's wrong comm/dumb question.

    I'd imagine that what my local places does is pretty standard, but if you don't pass the heart rate/blood pressure range the first time you get to go sit in a chair for a bit and try again before getting kicked for the day. The place is also staffed by at least one Registered Nurse and a part of the initial process is talking to them about the plasma donating process and how it can affect/interact with specific conditions and medications.
