I worked 2 years in IT helpdesk for larger company (about 500 PCs), and part of the job was to visit people's offices and fix various computer problems, if it wasn't possible over the phone or remote access. I was in contact with lots of people and really enjoyed it.

Any type of sales job is great for building social skills because you're forced to interact with tons of people in a controlled (and consequently less stressful) environment.

Anything other than prison guard would do the job.

Okay all great ideas except the fortune teller but it was funny though. I will try the help desk thing and maybe Mcdonalds and maybe work backstage at the theater. :D

Being a peer counselor would be a great way to build your social skills.
