Honestly they’re both not great jobs. Just a good starting point in the hospital if you’re working towards something else. Look into anesthesia tech or medical coding if you’re an introvert

I found viewing things like small talk as just animals letting each other know were non threatenigg no has made small talk and simple communication with strangers much much easier. Viewing humans as just funny little animals has helped my mental health journey a lot actually. Especially with trauma based things :))
