Jobs for High School Graduates

This was helpful. However, I have a few more specifications to provide because my case is very different. I am a Bangladeshi American who recently arrived to New York to look for a job. I have graduated from high school, or to be more precise, I have finished my A-Levels examinations and passed with good grades.I have taken math and all the science subjects and so I'm looking for jobs in the following areas: teaching, lab-work, computing, writing. Moreover, I have applied to college and am now undertaking my gap year. Therefore, I will be able to work for the next 6 months or so.
