Hi,

I have not done well through school.
I'm not stupid, but I'm not good at memorizing and find it hard to sit for extended periods of time.

I've been working with kids for a number of years but It isn't very well paying. I was wondering what else I can do if anything that involves learning will take me longer and will be harder for me.

I find that I can't hold a lot of information in my mind at a time and I have a difficulty concerning and get distracted easily.

My strong points are: I'm good with kids, I'm creative, artistic, good with my hands etc...

I would love a job that is well paying. I'm in the Lakewood area.

Any ideas?

Maybe a place like the paintbrush? Or any other artistic geared place.

I want to add... I'm not the type who loves running around and I'm don't go for tons of action.
People might assume I have ADHD. I don't.
I want something predictable and steady.

A lady in my community opened an art studio in her basement. She has tons of classes for all ages, does events. Shes not cheap but kids learn real skills.

Driving for Uber?
Bubby sitting?
Mikva lady?
Medical records?
Also don’t assume your ability based on HS
I was convinced I was limited while in HS.
In particular in math and science
Surprise I went to college and did extremely well! And I’m in a math and science field and really happy

Playgroup morah, definitely!

It sounds like that sould be perfect fit and it's really in demand.

I also heard that the day care centers are paying really nicely right now. They have different ages including four year olds....

My personal experience. I barely passed in school. Bh I got my regents diploma, but not my Hebrew diploma.

I took a computer program and loved it. I have been working in the Software industry ever since.

Find something that you are passionate about, you may be good at it.
