I personally wouldn’t tell them I am low vision... and then when you are hired, if you need accommodations then ask for it
depending on how bad your vision is
something like a retailer would be good, grocery store, clothing store, department store like Walmart
good luck

I am not sure about your level of vision, but mine is about 20/200. The jobs that I have held in high school included newspaper photographer, dishwasher, and babysitter. In college, I did more babysitting. I also had work/study jobs as a weight room attendant, coffee shop cashier (was more like a concession stand)., and campus tour guide. Then I became a cashier at Walgreens. I did a bit more retail, but now I work in HR at a pretty accepting organization. I don't think I've ever disclosed my disability before getting an offer/being hired. I will warn you that, in retail, there is discrimination and ignorance, so if you're anxious about that, you either have to stand up for your rights under the ADA or avoid it. At that time, I didn't know what to do and just quit and felt horrible and afraid to even try again. I would recommend internships at an office--my experience in professional offices has been much better than in retail. Take advantage of being a student by networking, joining student orgs, going to career fairs, and getting paid internships.
