As some with ADHD, my interest fluantuats wildly. How does an average person choose a job thats suppose to be for life and not worry about loss of interest, let alone some with ADHD.

    I wish I knew. Ideally I planned to build a set of skills that can be applied to solving multiple very different problems.

    It worked for a while. For a short time I had jobs whenre proving myself by doing was appreciated more than having formal credentials. But even then, my need for constant change was not understood. People even thought they were doing me a favor by giving me a long-term stable project as a reward.

    Everything since has been hell. In the corporate world the idea of transferable skills doesn’t exist, actually it’s actively looked down on. Unless you have the exact same job description in your previous job they won’t even consider letting you do it, even though it’s 80% the same.

      to build a set of skills that can be applied to solving multiple very different problems.

      What was your set of skills?

      Is there some kind of definitive list of useful transferable skills that these can be found on? I’m starting out and something like this would be very useful bc I have no idea
