sounds like an excuse. you can work at walmart making 30k a yr. having gaps in your employment history will only hurt your future employment opportunities.

you cant suck at giving out stickers greeting ppl at the front door of walmart, and saying "have a nice day" to the people leaving the store. Or how about ripping movie tickets in half? theres no skill required there, and the only way you could screw that up is by giving yourself a papercut.

not trying to be an asshole, but almost any entry level job you apply for will give you training.
