[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being camp counselors might help them overcome some social anxiety, as it is very different interacting with young kids vs peers and adults. I'd say the same about being a Host at a restaurant - it will force them to get comfortable greeting people, dealing with personalities, etc but it is just a small low key interaction, not requiring big conversational skills.

She's still friends with a lot of her old coworkers 5+ years later. Don't get me wrong, a service job is a service job and parts of it will suck, but overall it was a really good balance of having to deal with customers, but also plenty of time doing back-of-house tasks so she could get a break from being socially "on."
