as an aside, here’s a fun thread from awhile ago by someone else: What are some underrated careers/jobs?
p.s. leaving this open-ended per community theme, we can get into specifics in comments!

Which kinds did you have in mind? Some that occur to me have far too brief interactions (or times to interact) to invite those opportunities.
Food server/bartender jobs come to mind. Not only do you meet a lot of people but they often are repeat customers. People would rather hire someone they are familiar with than a stranger off the street and it helps if they see you have a good work ethic. If you are like me and don’t have a college degree don’t underestimate qualities you may have that will work for you. Just by showing up with a positive attitude and being trustworthy puts you ahead. Every job I’ve had in adulthood came by word of mouth and they have all been small businesses. The job I wouldn’t recommend is a factory job. They often will pay a couple of bucks more and seem ideal if you don’t want to deal with the public but you won’t meet many people besides your coworkers unless you work the dock. I hope this helps, good luck
I got a job as a beer rep because I fixed the supervisors wife’s phone.
Hardware/home improvement store loader. If you bother to learn about a department and help customers load their shit the tradesmen and contractors will offer you a job on the spot. At least in my experience.
Bonus points if you drive a fork lift.
