Jobs that I can study while doing? (lemmy.ml)

Hello everyone,
For reasons I won't get into here, I'm looking for a minimum wage job where I would still have enough downtime to self-study an online course I'm doing. I've been thinking something like this might be possible in a receptionist style scenario. Has anyone done this before? What sorts of jobs are good for this? I'm gessing it's probably jobs where they are looking for a person to pay just to have someone on-site and on-call...

Any sort of service desk could work really. The front door security guy at my office spends a lot of time on his phone when he's not signing in visitors.

True, I'll look into this too. Do you think it's a good idea to ask the employers how much downtime to read etc. there would be when applying, or is it better to keep this to myself?
