i am 17 and for looking for a job and i am looking for some advice

 I have to narrow it down to three jobs gamestop,wal-mart and best buy

the reason i am asking for advice is that this will my first job and i have mild cerebral palsy that means back pain and that cant lift more then
15 to 25 pounds i have experience being volunteer for 4 years

which one would be the best choice for me

darko:
Well, assuming some lifting would be involved at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, I would say you're kind of stuck with Gamestop. Best Buy would be my choice if I had those three to choose from, but I've never worked at any of them.

I opened/ran a coffee shop/venue for my first job and was later a waiter at a local restaurant. Being a waiter was a lot of fun but that was probably because I was working with a lot of my friends.

If you're strictly after a paycheck I would look into being a bank teller. It's not difficult and you get paid pretty well depending on which bank you're working for. When I was in college I was a teller for 2.5 years (mostly because I was bored with school and partying) and I was paid ~ $14/hour.

madmax:
Gamestop is probably your best bet. I wouldn't rule out best buy if your able to work on the floor and sell at stuff. If you've volenteered for 4 years your resume will be good for a 17 year old. As asked before, are you after a paycheck or a good job?

a little bit of both but if i can get that a good job

matt:
GameStop sounds like a good choice. I managed a GameStop for years and left a bit jaded but for a part time gig, it isn't all that bad. If nothing else you get to hang out with gamers and chat about games all day. If you work in a good store, it really isn't even work.
