Lol, 4 or 5 secs sounds about right for the time I actually stopped listening. I tried to keep watching, but I gues.my mind and fingers had another plan.
+Udoka O LOL, Yeah. I was like 10 seconds into this and started reading the comments instead, which tends to happen to me most of the time, but like 2 minutes in and I lost interest, which I normally at least make it a few minutes in of these interviews before I have to switch to something else.
My adhd has made me a job hopper, I've always had anxiety due to my work performance... Its so embarrassing and infuriating. I wish I had a job I was good at and made me happy to wake up every morning. This condition has brought me nothing but chaos, i just want some order/harmony. It leaves me feeling like I'm defective in society, so why even be a part of it?
i feel the same way and i have hopped from job to job and feel useless to society as well because i am always fucking up..forgetting..losing things..forgetting.. and forgetting its hard to concentrate and retain loads of information...did i say forgetting?? but just know you are valuable and you are important we are all different. i hope u get the help you need i can relate 100% the frustrating part with my issue is i havent been diagnosed with ADD and im sure ibhave it they keep saying its depression..my thing is WHATS MAKING ME DEPRESSED?????...duhh because im losing my mind with this ADD shit geesh .help!! ok im done. stay strong man...stay strong
Perfect jobs for people with ADHD are jobs that are always changing and offer numerous projects/stimulating. You wont get bored and you have the option to procrastinate one task while you're working on another task. I work at a Library and its PERFECT for me. :)
RUclips is a great/bad place for people with ADD/ADHD because there are so many things I want to watch on the side bar that have sparked my interest, and I want to watch all of them, but I know that if I click on one, that videos side bar will spark so many other interest and I can't watch them all with out not watching some... I also should get back to studying for my final haha #thestruggle
Niko Amaya Ahhh, the you tube rabbit hole...the place where 10 minutes magically turns into 3 hours and you're not sure how you got to the current video, but you can't remember what you were looking for initially, so you have to trace your steps back through the history section to remind yourself!! I agree it's a mixed blessing! I had the same problem looking up a word in the dictionary when I was in school...I'd get so distracted by interesting words along the way, I would forget what I was looking up! I started writing the word on my hand or arm before looking it up as a constant visual reminder. That way I could remember my goal, but still explore a little without getting completely off track and lost!
@@NotAFanOfHandles I have over a hundred tabs open in chrome on my phone. Might want to read that article or thing again but now I don't have time bc I'm busy looking up new interesting stuff
I haven’t watched the video yet, but i actually noticed this with the last 5 videos! If they’re speaking on add, they should realize the attention deficit! Lol say what you gotta say! Lol
Normally, I would say, "Oh c'mon--preface is usually helpful!'" But yeah....this is ridiculously dull. I guess it's interesting to hear 2 ADHD ppl try to have a conversation w/ each other. She is needs to take her meds.
Well, it’s clear that Eva has confused ADD with selfish impatience. The good news is, she can get over herself if she chooses to form those kinds of good habits. The bad news is, she’s going to need to get over herself and do the character work required to become a person who realizes there’s a better way. I hope for the sake of her relationships that she chooses the harder but more excellent way.
I have severe adult adhd, i work at a movie theatre, ive done everything form unloading trucks, retail, and food industry, i have never loved a job more or been more excited to go to a job, this is the first job i am happy to go to, it keeps me moving, all the customers are in a great mood unlike food or coffee customers cause who goes to see a movie angry lol. The perks of unlimited movies, free snacks drinks etc, and a great low light environment full of movie fans a other nerds was like finding work nirvana. second best job was panda express its more work and less compensation but everyone was so kind and hard working
Exercise 3 times a week, take fish oil, rest --- Okay yes I do those and it does help but it didn't help me figure out what the BEST JOBS FOR ME ARE? And I skipped through the video towards the end even on fast forward speed omg boring and does not have the info I was expecting.
He said get a job that you are interested in. Kind of a vague answer and to be honest it applies to everybody not just people with ADD/ADHD he cant really specifically tell you what you are going to be good or bad at since everbodies different. That would be like asking someone to tell you what your favorite food is. How should they know?
Vyvanse is a mirical drug for me. If I take it I feel so much better. Not as stressed more focused more task oriented etc... I can actually get important things done when I take vyvanse. Not only that I have more motivation to get important things done in the first place. Having ADD makes me want to put off important tasks because I just hate the implications of those tasks
Really, because this is helping me!! Keep your negativity to yourself please!! I've been living with this my entire life, and any help is great help!!! thank you!!!
Everyone watching this video with ADHD and ADD just throw the phone to the side and listen to it like if it was a podcast, it’s easier to listen to it than watch it
Honestly, this video just pressed my angry button! We have ADHD, we are not crazy! We don't have "problems"! Most people with ADHD have an IQ that can blow the average person out of the water. We have trouble collecting and applying. Most people with ADHD are going to laugh at this video. We are all Different, ADHD changes from person to person. I am sick of people broadcasting garbage because they think they have some type of a qualification to do so!!! People like this are why so many people get misdiagnosed.
YES! ADHD is so stigmatized and over-diagnosed and it hurts the people who actually have it. After a rough 4 years of college I fell into a depression and saw a therapist who really helped me understand what ADHD really was. He made me realize how many things and issues I had in my life were a result of my ADHD and for so long I had spent my life trying to “fix” my ADHD and be “normal” when in reality ADHD is not something that can be fixed it’s simply something you have to learn to cope with and you cope with it by playing to your strengths. ADHD is not this common Benine disorder it’s made out to be and it can be truly debilitating but it can be a gift just as much as it is a curse if you learn to use it to your advantage!
Here here Zack. And yes the best job for those with ADHD is one that makes you happy! I had over 30 jobs not one lasting more than 7 months. I laugh now when i look at some of the mundane sterile jobs i tried to tone down my bright creative somewhat loud personality for, and that required attributes so not present in an Adhd'er. Talk about setting myself up for failure! I feel so blessed to have found my niche as a facepainter and childens entertainer :-) rainbows and glitter, parties, perfect!
She asked about the neurobiology, but he talks about brain processing (half answer). What about dopamine deficiency and norepinephrine - that's exactly what methylphenidate target. To summarize: ADHD people lack the dopamine that should motivate you to complete boring tasks. Medication also increases norephinephrine which makes you more alert.
I have ADHD and I forgot I was watching this. I was scrolling thru the comments for the first 5 minutes and on DeviantArt for the rest. ;_; I thought this video was gonna list the best and worst jobs for people with ADHD/ADD.
lost interest before dude started talking and skipped to him then i looked at comments and now i have no idea what he said and dont care to watch the rest. goddam it

The only job that is best for ADDers is the one that makes you happy. We don't do well in any job that doesn't light us up. No way! Burnout, job hopping, boredom. We've gotta love it or ditch it (or it will ditch us). Now the working conditions doing what we love are what will make all the difference.
That's me. I've hopped around never finding what lit me up. Now that I've been officially diagnosed I can now grasp why I do what I do and how I do it.

I am not ADD or ADHD I got tested for it but I certianly feel that I have very similar characteristic to ADD and ADHD people and so this video was really helpful to me personally because I am in a phase of my life where I am having to make big career changes/decisions. So thank you so much for posting this very insightful video and for having this interview on your show! I can personally say that it was really helpful for me! Thank you so much😊
"People with ADD tend to excel at their job if they have a high interest in what they do" opposed to normal people who do great without giving a fuck about what they do. Right?
Way out of the mark. The point here is that people with ADD tend to have a very limited set of activities that they consider interesting. People without ADD tend to adapt to the new job faster and easier than people with ADD. People with ADD start a new job and they immediately want to get rid of stupid practices, but people without ADD wait for the best opportunity to promote changes. More words are needed to explain what the good Dr is talking about, but he himself has ADD and thinks that everybody else requires just a few words to understand the message.
"people with ADD tend to have a very limited set of activities that they consider interesting." Opposed to normal people who are passionate about everything and would do just any job from farmer to toilet cleaner to astronaut. Right?
I have been blessed to have retired from a job that was perfect for my ADHD. Order selecting in a warehouse. Point to point order completion, start to finish one order at a time. Now I work as a Click List Dept Attendant. Filling on line orders. Same idea on a lightweight scale. Start to finish and then get to meet the customer, load their order in the car, called "carside". Talk about start to finish!
I have ADHD, and my brain is always on high duty work by default, that’s why I can’t pay attention when people talk to me. But when I am really interested, my brain literally shuts off all the other works and I start to hyper focus and dominate in the conversation. This is how my brain works not only for conversation, but also for most parts of my life.
Is AD(H)D amongst adults (or in general) more accepted in the U.S.? I mean that society "accepts" the existence? Stupid question maybe, but here in Germany I think it's still so that the majority thinks it's a "made up disaese". Though recently I met 2 people who were really open minded and accepting it (both of them are in health care / social work sector). I usually don't tell people that I have it because those who know about symptoms will reckognize it on their own ;-) And I LOVE the idea of having a "hunter's brain" because that's what I've been experiencing all my life and this definition makes so much sense! I don't mind the video to be long and only talking because that's what I'm interested in and able to focus on: English, learning new things (about biology/adhd and stuff). And I ALWAYS scroll through comments why videos are still playing 😅 It was only hard as I heard the birds and cars outside and the cat scratching the sand in his box... But made it through the whole thing and am a little bit impressed that both of the doctors (they are doctors, aren't they?) confessed to have AD(H)D. So that's what led me to my initial question: Is ADHD/ADD amongst adults "accepted" in the USA?
ppl with ADD/ADHD those guys got carried away with the conversation and forget to tell us what's the best job that will suits us,stay strong and driven from the inside to complete the best of you.
You can skip through the video by holding the shift key down while pressing the right arrow key repeatedly. Every time you press the arrow key, it jumps three seconds. That is what I did.
The sad part is that in the first 5 seconds, the people lost my attention, and my ADHD med has yet to kick in so I'm here reading the comments instead.
Neurofeedback messed me up more than anything that you could possibly imagine. There is not a day that goes by in my life where I don't wish to god deeply that I never would have done eeg biofeedback for adhd
Nope. I loved my job. I was an investigator with CDCR. Always seemed different and always on the move. Eventually though, the job started to get boring because of the day to day operations of the job were the same. The situations were different but the way I worked, the style I investigated crimes stayed the same. Granted it took longer to get bored with that type of job but I did. The adrenaline from that type of job sustained me. When I retired, dopamine slammed to almost nothing. Not fun.
Omg....imagine that months later I come back to this video and go thru the same cycle of trying desperately to focus on this annoyingly long-winded man's message, only to be distracted by a pretty little butterfly outside my window... GET TO THE POINT...
just to answer their naming of the clip. I also have ADHD and I am a teacher of grade 2. And for me it is the best job to have because you do fun stuff with the kids and a teacher is more then just a person standing in front of people. You do sports, functions everything! and you love it!
Nice video about ADD and jobs. Most people see ADD only as an attention dissorder, but it is indeed different: we have hunter minds that hyper focus on things we find Interresting! This was the first video I saw on your channel, and I watched the newer stuff. Nothing about self development anymore, only right wing politics. 😥
Someone please just put a time marker for when they actually tell you the best jobs for people with ADD. My ADD won’t allow me to sit through the video to find out for myself 😞
Im a mechanic im the Air Force and when I say this shit is HELL. I mean it with all my heart and soul… Promise to God. When I no longer have to do this…
The title is misleading. There is no list of jobs... However, the MFT on the show did say some very important stuff and literally said the best jobs are the ones that you are interested in doing -- take that to mean something that perhaps you went to college for and not a job at a shop or in a warehouse somewhere. It's too bad the host was interrupting what he had to say with all her non sequiturs because he actually opened my eyes more to adult ADD.
riverroxmusic best job for adhd, electronic assembly, art, sewing/crafting, chef, interior designer. I have adhd myself I can't stand office job. I'm currently working at Boeing as a mechanical assembly.
Skipped through the vid, he didn’t recommend any jobs but said if you do a job which you are passionate about/ enjoy, you will find it less boring and easier to cope
I've been studying this subject for the last 20+ years.....and living with. Mark is right on and he gave me some additional information I iddn't have before. A++++
I have ADHD and I got bored fast. I want to do robotics engineering. The only thing I could focus on in this video was him saying "for instance" every 5 seconds
moments after this women started sing songing about her wonderfull existence and of the wonderfull existence of her exstended family not only did i stop listening to what she was saying but my will to live substantially lessend , shut up, shut up, your doing it for the money, and if you find something you enjoy doing you are more likely to do well at it, fucking genius, the man is obviously a maverick, can't wait to get on with my soon to be successful and forfilling life. DICKS!!!!!
I couldnt pay attention beyond the first 30secs but im almost certain I know less about getting a job than i did before trying to watch this. Thanks for the attempt I guess.
I was looking for a video listing the jobs that are good and bad for ADHD. I figured that a job not interesting to someone with ADHD was obviously not the right job.
I agree. They could not have had people suffering with ADD in mind or them being ADD obviously did not review this video prior to posting... because if so, they would have found themselves completely bored and has already moved on to the next distraction or vidoe... Ugggghhh.... Even the freaking meds don't help to focus on this attempt. But hey thanks for thinking of us.... Signed, Medic-ADD/ADHD
You never listed which jobs would be best for us!! Not everybody can just find a job (never mind one that pays a decent wage!) in a field they where they have strong interest. I love astronomy and aerospace stuff, but at 55, I have neither the time nor resources to become an astronaut!!
I have add and tried to look up jobs that suite me and after starting this video i got bored and tried scrolling but i kept having to wait for it to load after every jump and got bored now im typing this
Wow everyone! It never said anything about specific jobs people with attention deficit can do! They can't give specifics when anyone can be interested in anything and it's different for everyone. I feel like that isn't something that should be so widely misunderstood here. Did I miss something?
The title is misleading, and I'm annoyed that I wasted 9 minutes waiting for the speakers to address a topic that never came up. This isn't fair to someone who already knows the basics of ADD and is looking for ways to cope with it. Is this a cynical bait and stick tactic to get more viewer and therefore advertising revenue? If so, shame on you!
I also have ADD and my room is complete chaos! ^^" but my biggest problem is that I find it hard to be social and actually being with people. I would like to have an overview of everything that happens, but I always end I get headaches and not in control of anything. and it annoys me that I can not take it easy and let things happen. I want to know what will happen before it happens and can not handle last-minute thing. I'm not on medication and it is my own choice. but it does often I end up feeling alone because I can not contact my friends but almost waiting for the contacts me. I do not know why but I can not even do that. and everybody else gets it look so easy that they just chatting with everyone from school / work / friends every night. I am actually a little jealous but it's my own fault ... or is it? IDK I am the only one with ADD that feel this way?
I see all the comments , and totally agree , the speaker on the right seems too busy speaking about herself , while the speaker on the left seems to drag out the conversation by being as wordy as possible because they get paid by the hour, it seems.
Tried to find the best and worst jobs for people with ADHD by bumping through it. Never heard or seen the jobs listed. So I just lost 15min of my life, Great !!!
High interest in jobs for people with ADD and ADHD would have been a better title. I need specifics in job categories to be like oh i do have interest there. Misleading
Moral of the video: Take a job that interests you.
you're welcome.
oh wow... that really helps me! stupid video
Thanks LOL
Thank you xD
I was looking for a comment that summarizes this😂
what the fk
got 15 secs in and started scrolling through comments
Haha me too, took about 5sec

same
Lol, 4 or 5 secs sounds about right for the time I actually stopped listening. I tried to keep watching, but I gues.my mind and fingers had another plan.

Nobody with ADD or ADHD will ever make it all the way through this video. Mind numbingly bad.
I have ADD and I got through it
I'm out
20 seconds in and I switched off lol
I'm in the middle and thinking if anyone can even Finnish it. and scrolling down seeing this
No ADD/ADHD and even I lost interest a few seconds in.
Reminded me of the late night jewellery section on a shopping channel.
Worst things for adhd = this video
amen. I got to 2:38 and went straight down to the comments.
I got to 1:58 haha

Worst ADHD video ever. Who is the intended audience? I was right into the comments.
Really, because this is helping me!! Keep your negativity to yourself please!! I've been living with this my entire life, and any help is great help!!! thank you!!!
Everyone watching this video with ADHD and ADD just throw the phone to the side and listen to it like if it was a podcast, it’s easier to listen to it than watch it
can ya'll do a top 10 jobs for ADHD people. This is why ADHD people like top 10 videos.
Honestly, this video just pressed my angry button! We have ADHD, we are not crazy! We don't have "problems"! Most people with ADHD have an IQ that can blow the average person out of the water.

Damn it, I can't even focus enough to get past school yet alone work.
School is painfully boring. Work can be much more satisfying depending on what you choose to do.
Here here Zack. And yes the best job for those with ADHD is one that makes you happy! I had over 30 jobs not one lasting more than 7 months.

Yes you are correct. I take methylphenidate CD 40mg ×2 daily. These comments are more interesting then the video.

Quick
Simple
Get to the point

It's so true about CAN'T HEAR people when we are focused on something else

I am not ADD or ADHD I got tested for it but I certianly feel that I have very similar characteristic to ADD and ADHD people and so this video was really helpful to me personally because I am in a phase of my life where I am having to make big career changes/decisions. So thank you so much for posting this very insightful video and for having this interview on your show! I can personally say that it was really helpful for me! Thank you so much😊
"People with ADD tend to excel at their job if they have a high interest in what they do" opposed to normal people who do great without giving a fuck about what they do. Right?
Way out of the mark. The point here is that people with ADD tend to have a very limited set of activities that they consider interesting. People without ADD tend to adapt to the new job faster and easier than people with ADD. People with ADD start a new job and they immediately want to get rid of stupid practices, but people without ADD wait for the best opportunity to promote changes.
More words are needed to explain what the good Dr is talking about, but he himself has ADD and thinks that everybody else requires just a few words to understand the message.
Dragon10101011 yes that is my problem.... if im not interested in what i work with, i will be bored and have no concentration
"people with ADD tend to have a very limited set of activities that they consider interesting." Opposed to normal people who are passionate about everything and would do just any job from farmer to toilet cleaner to astronaut. Right?
Dragon10101011 true, but i feel that if i worked with something id like, i would do a better job than the normal people.

Way out of the mark... again. One thing has nothing to so with the other.
I have been blessed to have retired from a job that was perfect for my ADHD.
Order selecting in a warehouse. Point to point order completion, start to finish one order at a time.
Now I work as a Click List Dept Attendant. Filling on line orders. Same idea on a lightweight scale. Start to finish and then get to meet the customer, load their order in the car, called "carside".
Talk about start to finish!
I have ADHD, and my brain is always on high duty work by default, that’s why I can’t pay attention when people talk to me. But when I am really interested, my brain literally shuts off all the other works and I start to hyper focus and dominate in the conversation. This is how my brain works not only for conversation, but also for most parts of my life.
Is AD(H)D amongst adults (or in general) more accepted in the U.S.? I mean that society "accepts" the existence? Stupid question maybe, but here in Germany I think it's still so that the majority thinks it's a "made up disaese". Though recently I met 2 people who were really open minded and accepting it (both of them are in health care / social work sector). I usually don't tell people that I have it because those who know about symptoms will reckognize it on their own ;-) And I LOVE the idea of having a "hunter's brain" because that's what I've been experiencing all my life and this definition makes so much sense!
I don't mind the video to be long and only talking because that's what I'm interested in and able to focus on: English, learning new things (about biology/adhd and stuff). And I ALWAYS scroll through comments why videos are still playing 😅 It was only hard as I heard the birds and cars outside and the cat scratching the sand in his box... But made it through the whole thing and am a little bit impressed that both of the doctors (they are doctors, aren't they?) confessed to have AD(H)D. So that's what led me to my initial question: Is ADHD/ADD amongst adults "accepted" in the USA?
I think they are either all mute, or that much add/adhd that they don't have time to answer. Mein lieber nachbar (grusse aus Holland)
Is it bad that almost the whole video is over and I've listened to none of it, instead I've chosen to hyperfocus on comments?
for all those people saying that they were getting distracted during the video try fidgeting with something and watching the video it helps quite alot
I have ADHD I clicked on this video and five seconds later I'm doing something else
oh god get to the point.......................
Sitting still and watching a 9 minute video without explosions, nudity or fighting....ain't nobody got time fo dat
I have a a teenage son with ADHD and it is absolutely struggle for us but more for him ,,, I pray for all kids who have it .
Disliked I'm gonna go stare out the window now
just got diagnosed a few days ago. now I have to wait to get put on medication. really hope it helps.
Becca Neissari ....GOOD LUCK
Oke screw this... does anyone have a tip for a good video on this subject on youtube?
Alex Ochoa pendejo
ppl with ADD/ADHD those guys got carried away with the conversation and forget to tell us what's the best job that will suits us,stay strong and driven from the inside to complete the best of you.
annoying! what the hell!
You can skip through the video by holding the shift key down while pressing the right arrow key repeatedly. Every time you press the arrow key, it jumps three seconds. That is what I did.
The sad part is that in the first 5 seconds, the people lost my attention, and my ADHD med has yet to kick in so I'm here reading the comments instead.
he talks way to slow! I cant!
I went into teaching ( elementary school) before I knew I had adult adhd 😳😬🤦🏻♀️
Did it suit your ADHD brain?
Total bullshit.
Found myself enjoying the wavy blue background behind the guys head very quickly, it's nice - even follows through the join between panels
It got so boring my add had my add nearly took me to another video...
Then I remembered i was watching this one
Neurofeedback messed me up more than anything that you could possibly imagine. There is not a day that goes by in my life where I don't wish to god deeply that I never would have done eeg biofeedback for adhd
In what way?
I worked doing research and it was perfect: constant stimulation, never the same and tons of autonomy
Nope. I loved my job. I was an investigator with CDCR. Always seemed different and always on the move. Eventually though, the job started to get boring because of the day to day operations of the job were the same. The situations were different but the way I worked, the style I investigated crimes stayed the same. Granted it took longer to get bored with that type of job but I did. The adrenaline from that type of job sustained me. When I retired, dopamine slammed to almost nothing. Not fun.
Omg....imagine that months later I come back to this video and go thru the same cycle of trying desperately to focus on this annoyingly long-winded man's message, only to be distracted by a pretty little butterfly outside my window... GET TO THE POINT...
just to answer their naming of the clip. I also have ADHD and I am a teacher of grade 2. And for me it is the best job to have because you do fun stuff with the kids and a teacher is more then just a person standing in front of people. You do sports, functions everything! and you love it!
Am I the only one who watches video on speed mode just to not get bored quickly
Nice video about ADD and jobs. Most people see ADD only as an attention dissorder, but it is indeed different: we have hunter minds that hyper focus on things we find Interresting! This was the first video I saw on your channel, and I watched the newer stuff. Nothing about self development anymore, only right wing politics. 😥
Someone please just put a time marker for when they actually tell you the best jobs for people with ADD. My ADD won’t allow me to sit through the video to find out for myself 😞
you didnt say the best and worst jobs, you said "do something you're interested in.
OMG DUH
Im a mechanic im the Air Force and when I say this shit is HELL. I mean it with all my heart and soul… Promise to God. When I no longer have to do this…
video didn't even start before I started scrolling through comments and suggested videos lol
who else with add always speed the video up so that you dont get bored when the talk too slow
The title is misleading. There is no list of jobs... However, the MFT on the show did say some very important stuff and literally said the best jobs are the ones that you are interested in doing -- take that to mean something that perhaps you went to college for and not a job at a shop or in a warehouse somewhere. It's too bad the host was interrupting what he had to say with all her non sequiturs because he actually opened my eyes more to adult ADD.
riverroxmusic best job for adhd, electronic assembly, art, sewing/crafting, chef, interior designer. I have adhd myself I can't stand office job. I'm currently working at Boeing as a mechanical assembly.
Skipped through the vid, he didn’t recommend any jobs but said if you do a job which you are passionate about/ enjoy, you will find it less boring and easier to cope
I've been studying this subject for the last 20+ years.....and living with. Mark is right on and he gave me some additional information I iddn't have before. A++++
how? He's repeating the same stuff I've read for 5+ years
Summation for fellow ADD/ADHD-ers:
DO A JOB THAT INTERESTS YOU.
You're welcome.
I have ADHD and I got bored fast. I want to do robotics engineering. The only thing I could focus on in this video was him saying "for instance" every 5 seconds
I am an adult with ADHD and depression, i don't have any particular interest or hobby, so do you have an alternative suggestion for me
Opened the video and went straight to the comments
Jobs for people with add/adhd: every job
Your welcome
In my experience, it's jobs that don't keep your mind and body active which are the worst.
But, everyone is different.
moments after this women started sing songing about her wonderfull existence and of the wonderfull existence of her exstended family not only did i stop listening to what she was saying but my will to live substantially lessend , shut up, shut up, your doing it for the money, and if you find something you enjoy doing you are more likely to do well at it, fucking genius, the man is obviously a maverick, can't wait to get on with my soon to be successful and forfilling life. DICKS!!!!!
What he said about ADD and the hunter brain vs the master brain was like an aha moment for me
I couldnt pay attention beyond the first 30secs but im almost certain I know less about getting a job than i did before trying to watch this. Thanks for the attempt I guess.
trust me busy HR Manager is the best... hundreds of competing problems and excitement non-stop, and very few projects!
Niko Covich what does it take?
It’s our boi Morgan Spurlock.🤟🏻
people with adhd need to work at their own pace it doesn't matter what jobs we get
I have ADHD and i wanna be an Ethical Hacker, since i can perfectly focus.
Take a job that interests you. Great. I’m mildly interested in a billion different things.
I was looking for a video listing the jobs that are good and bad for ADHD. I figured that a job not interesting to someone with ADHD was obviously not the right job.
Not me, listening to this, at 1.75 speed 🥴
I agree. They could not have had people suffering with ADD in mind or them being ADD obviously did not review this video prior to posting... because if so, they would have found themselves completely bored and has already moved on to the next distraction or vidoe... Ugggghhh.... Even the freaking meds don't help to focus on this attempt. But hey thanks for thinking of us....
Signed,

You never listed which jobs would be best for us!! Not everybody can just find a job (never mind one that pays a decent wage!) in a field they where they have strong interest. I love astronomy and aerospace stuff, but at 55, I have neither the time nor resources to become an astronaut!!
I have add and tried to look up jobs that suite me and after starting this video i got bored and tried scrolling but i kept having to wait for it to load after every jump and got bored now im typing this
whilst on this video got on ebay to find an apple laptop anded up looking at lamps
Wow everyone! It never said anything about specific jobs people with attention deficit can do! They can't give specifics when anyone can be interested in anything and it's different for everyone. I feel like that isn't something that should be so widely misunderstood here. Did I miss something?
2 mins in, chewing guitar pick, checking videos on the right, practicing raising left eyebrow, women's voice in background, why am i here
the school system is fucked, once you make mistake, it is hard to start over for ADD people.
I got to 9 seconds in to the video before I started scrolling threw the comments
The title is misleading, and I'm annoyed that I wasted 9 minutes waiting for the speakers to address a topic that never came up. This isn't fair to someone who already knows the basics of ADD and is looking for ways to cope with it. Is this a cynical bait and stick tactic to get more viewer and therefore advertising revenue? If so, shame on you!
Best job ever: the one where your boss/supervisor won't give you a litany of irrelevant details about the task to be completed.
I also have ADD and my room is complete chaos! ^^" but my biggest problem is that I find it hard to be social and actually being with people. I would like to have an overview of everything that happens, but I always end I get headaches and not in control of anything. and it annoys me that I can not take it easy and let things happen. I want to know what will happen before it happens and can not handle last-minute thing. I'm not on medication and it is my own choice. but it does often I end up feeling alone because I can not contact my friends but almost waiting for the contacts me. I do not know why but I can not even do that. and everybody else gets it look so easy that they just chatting with everyone from school / work / friends every night. I am actually a little jealous but it's my own fault ... or is it? IDK I am the only one with ADD that feel this way?
I see all the comments , and totally agree , the speaker on the right seems too busy speaking about herself , while the speaker on the left seems to drag out the conversation by being as wordy as possible because they get paid by the hour, it seems.
The comments seem to suggest that they really don't get to a specific point I'll just go to a different video.
Tried to find the best and worst jobs for people with ADHD by bumping through it. Never heard or seen the jobs listed. So I just lost 15min of my life, Great !!!
Would be a lot more helpful if you list the best and worst jobs - lists help!
High interest in jobs for people with ADD and ADHD would have been a better title. I need specifics in job categories to be like oh i do have interest there. Misleading
