Good advice here.
Me, at 20? I can't remember if that was cooking in a restaurant or working in a nursing home. Both jobs trained me for the skills I'd need and both paid relatively well, considering. More than minimum.
But yes, get a job, any job, even if it's minimum, even if it's awful. Being employed seems to help get a different job when you apply for it. Or maybe that horrid job can lead into something better.
My first job when I moved to Montana was at Wendy's, for super-low part time hours, and for sure minimum wage. But I needed something, so that I could get something better. And I did- moved over to cooking in a real restaurant and then to the nursing home.
