Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
The only job the state told me I can work because of my neuropathy in my feet. They said I can't wash dishes or any job that I'm on my feet. Is working a cash register a good job? What about operating heavy equipment?

How old are you Robert? There's plenty of seated jobs that you can do other sitting at a cash register. Have you thought about driving? And looking at your avatar, a motor cycle courier might appeal, just have a good think about it and don't be fobbed off by petty bureaucracy.

I'm no doctor, but IMO working a job where one is standing, is far more healthier than a job where one is sitting, but as Horseless so mentioned, I believe there are other opportunities for you.
 
Depends what kind of an establishment you would cashier in. If it's a grocery store you might be expected to pack customers grocery bags and lift them. You have to be able to lift 40 lbs. Think about this when choosing.
 
I don’t ever remember seeing a person operating a cash register who wasn’t standing most or all of the time. I think exploring some type of seated desk job would be the place to look.

That was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned getting a job where you don't stand on your feet. I think the type of job you can do depends on your health- and how much you can physically do.

In the lower right-hand corner of each reply you'll find LIKE, QUOTE, REPLY, click on REPLY, and that will auto-quote the post you want, Fuzzy.
 
I assume you'd be on your feet if you're working a cash register unless you're blessed to find a store that has a seat at their register. Perhaps an accommodating supervisor would make that happen for you.
