Which Jobs Are Easy?
Some jobs are easier than others. For example, being a cashier is easy because the tasks are simple and do not require special skills. You only need to scan products, take money, and give change.
However, jobs like teaching or being a nurse can be harder. Teachers must prepare lessons and help students, which can be tiring. Nurses work long hours and take care of sick people, so their job is challenging but rewarding.
