What's the best job for a 16 y/o?

ᴀꜱᴋ ᴛᴇᴇɴꜱ

I was recently fired from my last job after 2 shifts btw. she complained about my availability when I told her in my interview I wouldn't be super flexible but that's besides the point.

anyways, I'm in show choir so when it gets to like jan-mar im gonna be pretty busy and we have rehearsals throughout the whole year so there's not much time ill be able to work. I'm also idk a teenager and I want to live out my high school years and not work every day. I don't want any food place bc I don't want to come home smelling like grease. My last job was an ice cream shop and I got super overwhelmed by how they ran the place and everything I was expected to learn in 5 hours.

I was looking at Target because they pay pretty well and it said they're pretty flexible but I was also looking at Michael's because my friend wants to work there (were looking for one together so it isn't as awkward yk ?) But I was just wondering what nonfood jobs you guys enjoyed that were accepting of a tight schedule.
