Most any fruit or nutwood works well for a cutting board.
Rock maple is the most durable(provided It isn't pieced together chunks on end) but really, 9x out of ten, I just use the foldable sheets you can get at most any store.
Thing with wooden cutting boards is they require maintenence. No soaking, oil them fairly often, etc. but the benefits are, NO Plastic, more resistant to microbial "Infection", and they can always be sanded down to flat and re-oiled.

Anon... It will KILL any love you have for cooking.
Another job that teaches you actual life skills; I.E. something that you learn troubleshooting for systems or a valued trade is the only way to go.
Job at Wholefoods may not be that bad-IDK, but I can tell you from firsthand experience that unless you REALLY LOVE cooking, and only look at this as a "Stepping stone" job you have an only evening, weekends and Holidays job that at this point is little more than assembly and strife.
t. worked my way up to a one Michelin star restaurant, only to realize that it was killing my love of cooking and I had ridiculously oppressive hours(evenings, weekends and holidays,) for the rest of my life.
I went into independent contracting after working with a good company for a couple years.
Maybe look into electrical or plumbing, as they aren't as hard on your body.
STAY AWAY from the Union bullshit--find a decent family owned biz.
