people ask me how to start a comic sometimes and honestly one of the best tips I can give you is to work many different jobs.

I spent a couple summers learning just how difficult serving was. It is hard and thankless and requires impressive emotional regulation
I spent another summer as a day camp counselor and learned just how hilarious kids are when they say precisely what they are thinking about their anxieties.
Parent/child dialogues can be drawn from the internal monologue we all have (between our responsible internal being and our honest internal young being)
I worked as a courier for one summer and realized I was being too careful handling the product (because I was prohibitively slow)
Bottom line: any job will give you fodder for your comics!

And every colleague interaction can help you create compelling friend/roommate dialogues because characters trying to solve problems is always interesting.
