I suggest something where you get to work with a wide range of the populus. Opportunities are basically all service industry jobs: waiting tables in a restaurant, working retail, working in a hotel, etc. Learning how to interact with wide swaths of humans is an invaluable skill that will serve you well in your future professional career. I would focus on building social and emotional intelligence.

This issue isn’t automatic brightness, it’s OLED, which can selectively light portions of the screen, vs LCD, which has the whole screen at the same brightness all the time and blocks light.

A LCD with a global light source won’t benefit from dark mod. A LCD with more localized lighting will benefit some. An OLED will benefit the most.
