My mom is all "you need to get a job by the end of summer" and I'm all "ok ok"

I need a job that has the least human interaction possible. I have no qualifications worth mentioning, and having to talk to more than one person terrifies me. I'm 24.

So I ask you, what do you do?

From wikipedia:

"The last manned lighthouse built in the US was the Charleston Light constructed in 1962. Resembling an air traffic control tower, it has such modern features as a triangular shape, aluminum alloy skin, air conditioning, an elevator and the most powerful lamp in the Western Hemisphere. It too is now automated."

Here's some advice from someone with experience.

Try to find a job where you have to interact as little as possible with people.

I'm not talking about colleagues, you can have thousand of them. Just make sure you don't have to talk to them unless you need some kind of explanation or help.

Working in a club/bar/cafe/whatever is shit because:
1)it pays too little considering the hell you must put yourself through
2)it's not stable - you can basically sit for hours on weekdays, but on weekends you don't even have time to smoke a fucking cigarette
3)the stress that comes from your boss in case you mess up (which is very likely, glass is fucking fragile) is fucking bad for your health
4)you have to work with money - someone else's money. Seriously, trying to count money in a crowded and dark place is like trying to sew while riding a bike.
5)it's shit

You also would try to avoid jobs like cashier or even seller. Did you see the cashiers' fucking faces in a super market? I bet if you'd give them a gun they'd shoot themselves right away. And those guys working in macdonalds? Even been in a queue behind some fat chick that starts to bitch that her hamburger doesn't look like the one on the picture? Yeah, that.

I've worked retail for 3 years, but only about 10-15 hours a week, while I go to college. There's no way I could handle doing it for 40 hours a week. Don't go retail. Don't go retail. Don't go retail. I also worked at Burger King for a month when I was 16...even worse.
