Facts
Put foresight in the bottom list.
@Julian Müller • vor 32 Jahren I thought people with ADHD struggles with planning ahead. That is why they are very unorganize, always late, and do everything last minute. They function in stimulant and the now or present. They don’t have foresight or the ability to predict and plan for the future.
This is right for me except 2 differences. Swap risk taking with organization
@@chansermish2406 just because most people with adhd have a hard time with it didn’t mean we all do while it may be someone’s struggle it may be another’s strength there isn’t just one option for every brain 😊

All dang day long, every single day, no matter the occasion, emotional crisis, or the world imploding. Juggling hats (from sun up to sun up again, no sleep) like a main attraction in a traveling show, of the duties we perform. It is exhustng.
Thanks!
I've had maybe 150-200 jobs in my life, everything from shoe sales, warehouse, assembly, security, small engine tech, car stereo installer, speaker builder /engineer , stocker, truck driver and self employed. The job that stuck and is not on this list is Truck driver. I've been consistent since 2012 as a driver because it's always different, exciting new scenery and can pay way more than any of these jobs listed. Starting may be $60k but if you own a truck from $150-300k a year. It's risky exciting and fun. Please put this on the list sir 🤠
I’m in trucking and it’s not for, I’ve been having preventable accidents since I’ve started. Though trucking is good to keep food on the table and a roof over your head it’s not for everyone with adhd.
Ah, I’m a truck driver myself too
That might actually be the perfect job for me because i have developed the ability to drive almost perfectly while simultaneously spacing out, as if i turned on autopilot .
@@collinator68 I thought everyone did this lol i don't even realize I'm driving half of the time with all the ideas and scenes in my head lol.
I'm thinking about being a driver but I can't organise my own schedule or make appointments so if that was done for me it would be sweet.
I’ve been a police dispatcher for almost 25 years and just found out I have ADHD (I’m 54). I think this is precisely why I have longevity in a career where burnout typically occurs between 3-7 years.
I've been seriously considering pursuing this as a career. I was concerned about whether the actual environment would be too overwhelming? Not the actual calls, but being surrounded by others talking on the phone at the same time. What has been your experience with this? Is it overwhelming in a sensory way?
Im also in full time firefighter roll 23years, and just found out I've Adhd 😮
Part of my first position in Information Technology was coordinating and managing critical incidents in a large company. I followed procedures, some of which I created, contacted the appropriate engineers and stakeholders, coordinated two conference calls and kept 25,000 employees informed, all while driving the incident towards resolution. I loved the adrenaline and dopamine!
I read somewhere that ADHD may be an evolutionary adaptation from when humans started to form communities. Some early humans had the task of watching out for predators when the rest of the community was vulnerable. In simple terms, they were lookouts .
If this is the case, ADHD may also be extremely beneficial to combat sports (MMA, kickboxing, boxing, jujitsu, wrestling, etc) and security related jobs such as the airforce, military, police or office guards.
Fun fact: Jon "Bones" Jones (one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time) says he has ADHD.
YES, you are quoting the infamous Hunter & Gatherer Theory, which I actually made a video on. It theorizes that we used to be hunters. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/WUzr7940kgQ/видео.html&ab_channel=ADHDVision
@@adhdvision thanks man
It's true. I was an infantry soldier and now I'm in the fire services. I did this before I knew I had ADHD so basically I subconsciously chose these jobs.
I used to tell myself in my inner voice that I had feelings like a watchdog from time to time, this is the first time I'm telling this to someone else. When it comes to ADHD, everything in my feelings becomes whole. But I have never had a position in my life that required this. I feel bad when some feelings seem irrelevant to my life.
Not sure about that. Practiced martial arts as a teen, and always struggled to get my brain to line up with my muscles. I constantly had bad posture and blade alignment, and coordination sucked, especially with grappling or rapier and dagger fencing.
I’m in Horeca currently, so here’s my take on working there with ADHD.
Avoid being a front desk clerk or housekeeper at all costs.
A waiter is decent, because you can easily outperform most others with your awareness of everything that happens around you and the ridiculous speed in which you can do tasks that are well known. Just look for event, catering, banquet and very busy places, not a cozy cafe or a hotel.
Same goes for event logisticians or fair/expo builders. There’s some planning involved, but it’s a very physical job, with constantly changing environments and a lot of short, stressful situations. If you’re easily irritated by imperfection, the tasks of arranging and decorating might suit you well - you just can’t unsee that the front desk isn’t in line with that bloody brand wall behind it!
Now for cooks/ chefs: it’s incredibly fast paced and the sense of accomplishment after a busy phase is better than drugs. Well, most chefs consume drugs, cigarettes or at least loads of caffeine. Avoid calm workplaces like nursery homes, factory, office and school catering and places that impose a lot of strangling rules on the lower ranks. Also, being a chef includes quite a degree of precision, at least in trade school and in fine dining. Until you can cut 2 kg of equally sized carrot julienne without focusing on it, you will mess up a lot and hate yourself for it. Either make it a game to be more precise every time, or look for a position where nobody minds the stuff being slightly “rustic”. When I was bored during my shift manager job in refugee catering, I helped the chef and “casually” diced 30 kg of cucumbers - not perfectly even, but at lightning speed, it was what mattered there.
Shift leader. Be it in fast food places, logistics teams or as a first waiter, this is great. Splitting your mind in ten different sections to keep track of your task and the team goals is really fun and as long as there’s no numbing routine, it’s good stress. Just be aware that having to lead extremely stupid, lazy or otherwise unbearable people can trigger your irritability and make you a bad leader because you lose your temper. Also, regular duties like documentation and all the stuff that happens outside of opening hours might be so boring and repetitive that you’ll slip errors. Don’t be the guy that keeps a bunch of mouldy veggies in the fridge, can’t be bothered to clean the drain weekly or forgets to lock the storage door. Don’t be me. 😂 you might want to have loads of coloured checklists.
Event or project manager. Be it in catering, trade fairs or corporate, this is fun. You can use creativity, do things your own way and be your own boss for 80% of the time. Lots of phone calls, sometimes driving around, and electrifying situations when your project is taking place. Also, lots of planning ahead (don’t be overwhelmed!!!), and some amount of infuriating admin junk like calculations, bills, permits, estimations and documentations. But also a lot of improvisation, a moderate sales aspect and good-ish pay, often with project related boni. Catering, sports/music events or trade fairs is to be preferred over corporate event management.
Restaurant manager. Danger zone - lots of routine, lots of admin, but also you have to improvise quickly, think like an entrepreneur and perform well under stress. Never worked in this position so this one is short.
Economist (hotel, travel agency, multi venue restaurant company, etc). Never worked there myself either. Less practical, lots of staring onto a screen, some amount of “admin” related stuff. Also, potential for improving the efficiency of processes, recruiting, having to deal with architects, interior designers and other contractors, and marketing. There’s some niches adhd people could outperform others in and have fun (well it’s the same for us), but they’re rare - you’ll be an “armchair pooper” while all the service and culinary staff are right where the action is. Maybe marketing or strategy/ consulting might be good.
Little add-on: Chefs, logisticians, the „shit jobs“ and project managers are normally very open to train loads of profanity, edgy jokes and energetic music, if guests, clients and sometimes supervisors are not around. Yes, I felt compelled to add this because it helps a lot with repetitive and frustrating situations or stress.
Hope I was able to help some here (:
Thanks man!
This is great! Thanks for sharing this 🤜🏼🤛🏼
This is interesting.
I love advantageous and risky jobs but I can also absolutely enjoy these jobs like nursing homes, calm cafee shops etc you mentioned to avoid....
Documentation tou mentioned is one of my favourite as I love to write ❤😂 and recently got even an diplom for best note keeping in my care job 👍 (I do live in care for elderly in their homes) because I go to ocd details 😂
Sooo everyone's adhd is different 😮😮😊
I've changed 16 jobs. Now I'm working as a meteorologist. Weather is always different and brings surprises
My 8 year old son is our family and the school weather man!! He looks up to people like you!!! I'm watching these for me but he has extreme ADHD. I always help him along the way!
Niceeeeeee
This video blew my mind. Especially because tiktok sent me here and just made my life make sense. My first career was a Fitness Trainer and now I am a data analyst....
Very glad it was able to illuminate things for you!
Become a fitness trainer again
wow
I’ve worked in multiple fast paced environments with ADHD and lost every one of those jobs for being too slow and missing small details
when my house caught on fire, my family was freaking out, flailing their limbs around and screaming, and there I was, silent, detemined look on my face, water hose in hand, putting out the flames.
I can recommend landscaping maintenance/gardener! It's peaceful and always new stuff happening depending on site, season,weather and week. Also somewhat routine driven as well if you work for a landscaping company that does a lot of regular maintenance on properties.
What about introverted people with adhd? These careers seem to be more orientated towards extroverts (with adhd). I don't thrive in a social environment. It's more stressful than anything else lmao. The video is interesting though!
I am moving toward tech career right now . I can do well working on a team but I need a good amount of alone time as well. I think a lot of tech field provide this , or the option to work remotely where you don’t have to interact at all. I am just starting so I can’t speak on it much . I am coming from a background of coaching and managing outdoor programs.
I find self projects related to programming very nice (continuing the tech trend of the last comment). I made CSGO hacks and even became a well known figure in a small indie game because I was constantly making new accounts and using cheats no other people have (as I made them myself).
The post office is hiring! I retired last year after 36 years as a postal worker. It was perfect for me. Highly physical tasks, constant short-term daily goals, no long-term projects, structured environment--what more could you ask for? I'm an introvert too. Mail delivery involves driving and being outdoors in all weather, but clerks can work indoors at mail sorting machines.
Yup me too, HSP. Depression, Anxiety and no social skills to ever make most of the jobs work for me.
I am an introvert with an interest in physics and now am a fibre optic specialist. I hate sales and never go down that route. In fact I turned down a divisional management job the company was grooming me for as it was sales orientated.
Look to where your interests are and there are many hybrid/work from home jobs since the lockdowns. Good luck.
For a hobby, I’d recommend being a writer/author. I found that if it’s about a subject I’m really interested in, I can write for a long time. 😎👍🏻
I started learning to code and just recently started data analytics and I love it! I have been struggling with jobs for so many years. I never thought I was employable until now.
++
Please let us know what online resources you are using. Thanks
I'm kinda put off cause of the different types of coding, like which one to go for, which are still mainly in use, easier to learn etc.
I build tow trucks! It’s amazing! My brains photographic memory due to adhd has me remembering tons of steps by memory. And to keep myself from getting bored I set timed goals for myself it helped a lot
I have ADHD and have been an emergency dispatcher for police/fire/medical for 10 years, 5 of those in a training role and made $60K last year. I'm good at my job, but I hate it. The pay isn't worth the politics, the stress, the crap you have to put up with from the public, or some of the horrible things you'll hear on the phone. If you're thinking about a career in this field, I would urge you to think of doing something else. It sucks being told you have to come in early or stay late, or you that you can't get your son's birthday off, or be home with the family on a holiday. Don't do it. Not worth it. I'm resigning as soon as I find something else. I hope you all have an incredible day.
I work with kids! Soccer coaching and about to start a job as a nursery school PE teacher 😊 having adhd is very similar to being a little kid, why I love working with them !
I’ve worked as a vet assistant, pharmacy tech and so far being a Pk teacher is my favorite 😁
I’m a project coordinator at a start up company. It’s perfect for me because I’m always starting new projects many of which I can bring my own ideas and problem solving skills to. Working from home has also been brilliant for me because I work in bursts and need to take breaks from sitting in front of the screen and then hammer out 3 hours of work in the last half hour 😂
This is totally me! Where can I find a job like this?
@@zyleymacruz333 go to college, especially something IT/ Economy/ Architecture related i guess.
I've wanted to be a content creator for so long but either don't have the motivation or the consistency 😂
For me its the whole RSD that kicks in lol
I just feel like I don't have anything to offer or would be "marketable". Nothing to really build on in the long run. Despite how often I find myself teaching stuff to people.
I’m a firefighter/paramedic and more than 50% of my coworkers and I have ADHD. It’s a perfect fit 👍
I am not only an entrepreneur but I am also a content creator. I started my own emergency light manufacturing business and now create content that goes along with the business. I have been on my own since 2005, after deciding that I will never work a W-2 job again. I worked W-2 jobs from 99 to 2006.
What was it like for you to walk out of the traditional “comfort” of W2 jobs and make that first step into becoming an entrepreneur?
Love your videos, I learn just before COVID that I have ADHD, should have realized it sooner, everyone in my family have it. I have researched and explored it so much. It’s tied to every single part of my life and every action I’ve ever taken. I am a serial entrepreneur and would never go back to the confinements of working for others again.
I’m an accountant, and while I enjoy it.. it definitely takes some serious struggles to focus so I’m constantly doing hobbies or something on the side to help
Find your comment surprising. Would have thought that job was anathema to having ADHD.
I’m an accountant too. What do you do for hobbies on the side? How do you manage day to day without getting brain fog and overwhelmed?
Thanks for this video dude.
Please keep making these videos
Thanks a lott! Exactly the knowledge that i needed right now
Beautiful video much appreciated
I have previously worked as a security/allrounder at concerts, festivals and other big events and I told my boss rather soon (even before I ever thought that I might have ADHD) that I do best in positions with human contact and honestly, I previously did 12-hour shifts without even feeling like I worked for a single second.
The constant contact with different people and switching between tasks works very well for me and it’s also perfectly available for students, since there is no previous experience required.
Also I worked in data entry and while that by itself isn’t all too interesting, it can be done while watching shows, podcasts or just random youtube videos and there’s not much to mess up and I get to set my own times, so that’s pretty nice.
Also the hourly pay can go up to 50+€ per hour, so that’s kinda nice
I am the opposite
Getting a data analyst job made me so happy first time in 10 years of working experience..after being photographer in a studio, accountant and tango teacher.. the more different unpredictable tasks there is - the better!😂
This helped me a lot. Subbed!
I am project manager in clinical research and I think it is the perfect job for me and my ADHD. I can start so many new projects, coordinate and when I’m bored of it, just delegate them! How awesome is this?! :D
That's brilliant! I just applied for a few project management positions within telecoms as thats my area of expertise. I was hoping it would be a good job for me.
Thank you!!! Sounds good!!
Immediately subscribed!
After the first 10 sec of the video!
Thanks!
I work as a veterinary technologist in a mixed animal practice. The constant variety fast pace definitely works well for me.
I have been a first responder for 7 years. Prior to that I could hold a job for more than 1.5 years. And in our country we get paid quite well, $100k at my rank and it will only increase.
Wow what country is that?
Australia
Great list.
The casino/gaming industry. I work in a casino and I'm surrounded by ADHDers, including myself (undiagnosed so far, but I def fit the criteria). There are different career paths within casinos. Personally, the noise overwhelms me sometimes, but there's always action and new things going on, new people, plenty of fun things to watch and pretty lights.
What programs do you use to create content?
This is a serious bad problem I have I can’t go 2 months without switching jobs I’m always working but it’s not good on a resume. It’s embarrassing thank you for the video
I’m the same I only ever keep a job for 1-3 months!
I feel that, find something you enjoy. Work a small job then work up. Get it by any means.
I am curious if data analyst should be on this list as often times we are flat out ignored by management when we speak since we are so easily misunderstood and surely being in a job that has us constantly speaking to management cannot be healthy for this exact reason? To further this stance I knew 2 coworkers and myself who all held and still hold ADHD and all 3 of us had the exact same interpretation from the data which we brought to management to be promptly ignored only to see everything happen exactly as we said it would like clockwork which brings us back to how is it healthy to have easily misunderstood people in data analyst positions?
Sales has been successful for me!! Plus it's easier to work independently than fitting into a group workplace i.e. restaurant or office
I’m an Accountant and have ADHD, reconciliation, analysis, audit and forensic accounting are my fave but yes struggle is real for theoretical aspect of it!
Broo i got diagnosed like a month ago and here comes the sudden realisation that us adhders really are quite the same (at least in comparison to any other person). Like for example these are literally my top careers to pursuit, specifically for the reasons you listed
Would being a detective work out as well?
I love your channel
I'm in sales, but not commission based. Thanks for the great ideas.
I’m a social worker - yes I’m happy in high stress. I’m the person you want around you when there is a crisis - no flight, no freeze from me >>I’m a fighter lol
People with ADHD have either Fight or Flight on 100% of the time.
Tq.. your video is help me a lot to know my purpose
I'm introverted ADHD. But I tried selling online. And I'm surprised that I can sell!! Product was spiritual elixir. Not a normal kind of product to sell. Because we love to info dump, so educating the potential buyer was a walk in a park.
I find that childcare could be emphasised a bit more. Maybe not as prestigious, although it should be, but really important for society and a lot of action, while kids being just as chaotic and creative as you are. You could be the one getting neurodivergent kids the support you would have needed. I would also like to see more men in childcare.
Crazy I’ve dived into all of these but I want to look into data a little bit more.
omg mate, this phrase defines me 100% "My dream would be to become a serial entrepreneur, think an ideas developer, and in a couple of months start another one...
I am 40 years, I opened my t-shirt business very special 3 years ago (no is closed), 4 months developing the idea, I can tell you it has been the best time in my life, and when I made it I wanted to do another one.... I would give you a huge right now because I am like you 100% in this aspect...
Changing the topic and making a reflection,
I am also thinking to start to learn UX, because you can deep into the idea and User experience, but thinking in the future job about it, I think always appeared the same issue,
You are going to have issues even if you work for someone as UX and you have to follow the rules about how to do things,
I can tell you a silly example, we can not work in a coffee shop with a boss telling you how to manage the shop(in two weeks you are bored), but we can be very happy having our own coffee shop and being creative doing whatever you want.
thanks for share
This is great for the ADHD-hyperactives. Only the data analyst really works for the ADHD-inattentives, and that is only if they like the topic. How about more for us inattentive types? I’m a teacher, a total go-to for many ADHD folks of all types. Constant go, go, go and problem solving. I’m trying to help my boys though: 20 and 25 both ADHD-inattentive, one also with ASD.
No wonder I’m a Sales Training/Enablement Program Designer!
what would be the best area to work in as an engineer as an adhd person?
I’m in sales 😂 and tech pays and there is a new milestone to meet almost everyday!
Nice! I finally at the age 32 have both realized that I have ADHD and what my dream job is. ...biotech analysist! (English is not my native, sorry) yeah, babe! Thank you for the videos you make. 😊
I’m going to be a qualified PT and also get a Close Protection licence :)
Good purpose bad figures, don't play with people's hope and try to be quite more precise to avoid missinformed followers..
Keep on going! The video format is eye catching
what about being a programmer or full stack developer?
Hi i also have adhd and i make content, but i find it difficult to come up with ideas to stay consistent. How can i change my adhd to creativity?
I tried fitness trainer but I was not good at sales and I could not keep up with the quotas imposed every month.
The Visual Effects industry works for me. That can be expanded to game dev. I need to solve new problems on every job.
Teacher assistant- grade school- it’s fun and action packed - I love it!
Your instagram link doesnt work, could you please fix that!
I work as a software developer and taking into account how many people with ADHD (myself included) or ADHD-like symptoms I’ve met in this industry, I thought it’d be included in the list. Anyway, if I ever get bored with coding, I guess I can try any of these. Cool video!!!
Hi, whay kind of a developer are you? I'm trying to become a frontend developer, but i struggle with consistency when it comes to studying. Did you have a similar experience?
@@gabrijelapodrzaj7135 I'm a software developer with ADHD, too, and I do have a suggestion for this: Don't study. Build stuff.
The dopamine hit of making cool shit is way better for the way we learn than studying theory or materials. Build as many new, different things as you can, and you'll find that you have to learn all the stuff you'll need along the way.
There are disadvantages to this style of learning: They won't give you a degree for learning that way. Certain jobs have gatekeeping requirements that still require you to study esoteria unrelated to the work you'll do. You'll still have to do boring stuff from time to time, and the more skilled you get, the more easy, boring stuff there is. Also, as you become more skilled, the complexity of projects you need to build to get the same dopamine hit will increase, which means more time, focus, and planning is required to build them, so you'll need new strategies.
BUT if you're goal is to become a great developer, building is way more fun and rewarding way to learn than studying.
Facilities Management has been working well for me. Plenty of stimulation and variety.
What usa state are your salaries come from? For me an experienced technologist microbiology wet lab job with a bachelor's only nets me 36,000 usd a year. Also I am now crying realizing I don't have any dynamic interactive creativity in my job experience.
At 36 years old, I wish I had time to go to university again for something more creative with the medicine with my now taking my adult adhd diagnosis.
What kind of sales do u do?
One thing I'd add is that it very much depends on your personality type as well. I have moderate ADHD, but I'm naturally an introvert so sales wouldn't be ideal for me. Could I do it and maybe even be quite successful at it? Yes, we're quite good at playing the extrovert when we need to. But it would just be too draining to be sustainable long-term --for me. It could be great for others, and the performance based compensation definitely playa a huge role in that.
That being said you've definitely hit the nail on the head for us more withdrawn adhd'ers as well. I work as an entrepreneur in the accountancy/tax consulting field. Hated the job when I worked for someone else, now that I run my own show I find it quite satisfying. Actually planning to do some more schooling in data science so I can add analytics as a service my company offers! :D
I work as a ‘creative’ in advertising, and there are a lot of us in the industry! We are literally hired to think of ideas that others can’t. I do struggle a bit with the presentations and if a project drag on though.
Hey Josephine, I worked as a Digital Marketer in an Advertisement Agency. Can you share with me some tips on how to stay updated in this industry? As my ex-employer fired me off saying "I am unfit for this job"
Thanks :)
And Diagnosed with ADHD
Flair Bartending… Flair bartending, has to be the absolute best job for a person with ADHD .
I always wanted to be a coder but was not able to focus on my studies. Can I learn coding now at 30. Although I have great interest but don't know if i will stick to it. Because I don't stick to anything. It's just starting period that i like.
I used to work as a salesperson and now I am a software developer and I LOVE coding and problem solving
How many times did you need to rewind?
I’m going into film? This good?
Until recently, I worked in the props department of Film & TV, cover everything from Mission: Impossible (oh, yes) to Telytubbies (if you've heard of them outside the UK). It was Ideal! Ad hoc, or contract, creative, active and every day is different, even if you are on the same project. Sadly, being a female of a certain age, perimenopause has kicked that into touch for me for the moment, but when it was good, it was really good!
I agree 💯
What's the music in the background?
I’m a licensed mental health therapist. I’ve been doing this work for 20 years. It’s perfect for my ADHD brain. I set my own hours, work from home, and I’m never bored.
A bonus is that my ADHD clients feel so heard and validated knowing that I have it too.
Worked on assembly line processes for 3 years, I'm able to stuff the parts I need to into cars 1000 times a day , 16 seconds at a time. I've developed niche skills, never been able to apply my talents or learn anything. Only brain rot. When I do become hyperfocused or produce inspiring thoughts, they're washed away by the motions. My only regret is not being able to write my thoughts down while working (I sneak my thoughts onto a pocket notebook if I'm able.. most of the time I'm not so lucky and I forget the thought for forever) I love my brain and wish I could build off of my own thoughts. When I do make it home from the factory shift, I have nothing in order. My only vice is to repeat mistakes. In the end I won't be myself if I continue this way, distracted until the very end.
What if you wore an earbud and dictated your thoughts into your phone? Like on a note or voice recorder app?
Lol, would not be suprise if sale job were on the list . The first alternativ 😁
Omg 😳 yes 🙌
What do you think about being an animator? Is it compatible?
If its something that speaks to u, go for it! We ADHDers are very visual people 😄 and I think it must be quite the creative occupation aswell
Did you go for animator?
The post office is a good place with adhd especially clerk positions and carrier jobs. New experiences every day. Alot of other workers accept you and will help you. Also. Rules and procedures help you from going off course
What kind of sales are you in?
sales
emergency responder
entrepreneur
data analyst
content creater
there you go my adhd mates
Thinking about getting into day trading. Focus on scalping in futures. I have never done it but it looks like something to learn and practice with? Any ADHD friends find this suiting to our brain type?
Day trading yes I've struggled with it because of the holding of positions and risk management until I realized Iam good at scalping.. I'm just learning today that I have ADHD, I can hold onto jobs for long am an architectureal designer but take long to complete projects so yes scalping can help though take care of the risk appetite 😊😊 see you in the trading business
It felt good to watch this on 2x speed
I do like freelance jobs, such as property agent, designer on fiverr etc..
I was thinking about becoming a teacher? Do you think that would be compatible with adhd
Definitelly!
Recently diagnosed (at age 37) teacher here. I find what I used to call my “creativity and flexibility” a real boon to teaching. The largest benefit? The constant switching. Whether you’re a classroom teacher doing all subjects or a middle/high school teacher teaching one or two subjects but with different groups, every 45-60min your brain is moving to something new. And no two days are the same. Ever.
One word of...caution? Advice?
If procrastination to the point of being overwhelmed and shutting down is a thing you experience, find a way to work with/around it. Because I ❤️ teaching, but I DESPISE marking...
@@skscharf how was schooling to become a teacher if you don’t mind me asking? I’m currently not in college and trying to decide what to go back for
@@skscharf how do you get around the procrastination and grading?
Ugh no sales. Lol what about ADHD jobs for introverts ❤️I say that but have had success as a DJ off and on for four years. DJing requires extreme multitasking and skillets. And it is usually a fun exciting time. I've found the only constant in all my probably 30 jobs over 20 years has been in Events. They are mini, temporary Projects ♥️
When did Branson say he had ADHD? I've heard him say he's dyslexic.
Any software engineers/programmers here?
What's your experience?

I have alot of ideas I need to find where to put them into like inventions
I was thinking about becoming a lawyer do you think its possible?
anything is possible! adhd shouldn’t hold you back from anything you want to do! you just gotta find ways to get around problems you encounter, also we can hyper focus on things we’re passionate about or highly motivated to do! so if you’re passionate about practicing law you’ll be good :)
But being a lawyer, you will need to control your emotions and ADHD people are known to have RSD. You need to get involved in people's lives. There are so many laws to remember.
I feel like nurse and seafarers would fit on this list nicely. Responding to the moment suits 👌
Test developer and most of them take 2-5 minutes so the feedback is relatively quick. This totally makes sense.
This is kinda crazy dude. I've looked into all of these jobs as an ADHD human. It was like a catalogue of careers I've researched lol.
