Job ideas for severe halitosis suferers
Job ideas for severe halitosis suferers
Here's an idea from hopelessone and initiated by vampire.
Let's think of a list of potential jobs that would alleviate some of the burdens of being a halitosis sufferer.
Of course I'm not suggesting that any of us should cut themselves off from the rest of the world (although many of us already have).
What would you think would be an ideal job for someone suffering from chronic halitosis. This job(s) should follow the following criteria:
1/ Reduce close contact with others (to a minimum)
2/ Limit personal interactions without being completely cut off
3/ Provide sufficient income
4/ Contribute to personal growth
Any ideas?

GREAT start, thank you. For me, i'd prefer NO contact. At least while i am exploring ways to battle and extinguish this horror. I don't want to be "stuck" around others in a forced setting like a job.
Let's keep the dialogue going......Thanks!!
Power to da peeps!!! (us!)
Wa-hooooo!!! Love y'all!
And on a side note, are there any Christians here who would be willing to pray with me?
I'm angey with God now...but that's because of the excruciating pain i experience because of this condition thatg He has not removed yet.
big huuuugs!

i think many jobs in the Information Technology field are great places to work for BB sufferers because most communication is conducted electronically and the nature of the job doesn't require bolstering yourself through verbal charisma and communication, but instead you are able to excel doing work that speaks for itself (so you don't have to)..
not to mention that they also pay fairly well

i mean i guess the only innate ability one would need would be possessing a willingness to learn and inquire. much of IT learning is self-taught through curiosity and exploration. possessing that mindset and staying on a computer all day fostering it could blossom into more specialized IT skills acquired through certifications

not a bad idea, actually.....hmmmmm....brightonguy wrote:Start a bad breath counselling service from your home and advertise it on the internet under the banner "It takes one to know one". Seriously though, there's a real unexploited niche here guys especially for those of you who know loads about the subject.
i'd like to be a bad breath therapist....is there such a thing? I need one now.

I actually work in information technology but am also a film/theatre student.
I live in nyc and these jobs are generally in a center (a medium size room with computer desks positioned very close to co-workers). I have suffered greatly working in those centers.
Every job I've had I'm sitting so close to someone else that even if I didn't suffer with this problem I'd be uncomfortable.
Here's my idea of better kinds of jobs we can do where there's not much interaction:
Security guard (you can be posted in a lobby or floor somewhere where you're alone and you can also work graveyard shifts)
Hospital (janitorial type work)
Large grocery store like Wholefoods (maintenance or janitorial type (not sure what these positions are called but from what I notice they generally work alone not as a group)
Receptionist (if it’s a small company your working alone and away from the rest of the office, but you may have issues when you greet people)
Unfortunately the drawback is that none of these jobs pay well.

How about a telecommuting job. I've seen these advertised on the internet for years. I don't mean the "make $5k a month " data entering scams. There has got to be some legitimate work at home jobs out there...right?
A quick google search has given me these results:
Administrative assistant
Web designers
Programmers
Transcriptionist
Writer
Customer service
Does anyone on this forum telecommute?
A while back I was seriously thinking of starting a medical transcription training program. Gave that up because of the cost and length of the program, but it was supposed to provide a steady work at home income in a field that's guaranteed steady growth.
The real downside for telecommuting is that you really do cut yourself off from the rest of society.

What kind of job do you do in IT and what training do you have/need to enter this field.

There are the odd few psychologists who specialise in halitophobia but there's no one nowhere as far as I can tell who is there to help and counsel BB sufferers. I think there's a real niche to be exploited here.hopelessone wrote:not a bad idea, actually.....hmmmmm....brightonguy wrote:Start a bad breath counselling service from your home and advertise it on the internet under the banner "It takes one to know one".
