    I've had some really easy jobs, with grand titles that paid carp money. I did loads for a company, and looked good on my CV, but they took me for a ride.

    Easiest job I ever had was putting tickets in envelopes for a company that sold concert tickets. You could safely turn your brain off for the day and chill out. I'd go back to it in a second if I could live off £6/hr

    that's the sort of thing, maybe.
    How would one find such a job? Agency? Just ask for a mundane job??

    Window cleaner?
  • Car washing? Seems to be an upsurge in people paying to have their cars washed and a number of places offering this service.

    Funnily enough if you can find an affluent area then you will make some money as I haven't seen one around my area for ages. £10 to £20 for a small house (3/4 bed not detached) won't take you more then 30 minutes to clean.

    I am thinking small manufacturing company with less than ten employees, on an industrial estate near you. Walk or bike to work, a boss who will take time to train you on an assembly line, and a few people to pass the time of day with.

    I say try landscaping. Get your hands dirty, it's a real workout and you usually don't have to work if the weather's bad.

    O.P. - you've had some good suggestions so far - so hope you find something suitable.

    By the way - you don't actually come over as "thick" to me. I HAVE seen a lot of posts on MSE where I have thought that - and, believe me, some of the posts on here are ones I really "struggle" with interpreting. It's surprising/shocking just how many people seem to not be able to convey quite basic ideas clearly in their posts. When I see a thread started by someone like that - then I tend to give up reading at the outset, rather than trying to work out what they are trying to say for them.

    Your post comes over quite clearly - so I wouldn't think you are "thick" as you put it. There may be some difference in "brain wiring" as you put it - but there ARE other differences in "brain wiring" besides being "thick". So - don't put yourself down - as I would say that self-assessment is not an accurate one. To me - it smacks more of average level intelligence - but not that good at relating face-to-face with people for whatever reason is causing that.

    what sort of speech problem is it?
    and anxiety? Maybe you could take some sort of drug to relax you before interviews or something?

    I had an easy/brain-dead job basically stapling cheques and cash to letters once, working at a marketing place who were dealing with the paperwork etc of a charity. loved it.
