Since I was diagnosed three years ago, I've watched countless videos telling ADHD people to "do the job that you're passionate about!"
Oh, great. Thanks a lot! The problem is, what excites me today might bore me to death tomorrow, or at best, by next week. The only thing that consistently excites me is waking up in the morning and asking myself, "So, what am I going to work on today?" I need the TOTAL, ABSOLUTE freedom to choose whatever I want in that moment to feel well and passionate. Any other "neurotypical" scenario—going to the office... doing the same thing I did yesterday... working on something I planned 3 days ago not because I want to do it now but just because I planned it... filling out administrative forms that were due yesterday... and so on...) will lead me straight to the land of Infinite Boredom!

A lot of these jobs require college degrees and I know a lot of adhd people have a hard time getting through college.

After 40 years of work, I’ve finally found a job that suits me. I became a singing/guitar/piano teacher. I have always had trouble learning almost everything except music. So now I teach music. A lesson is only 1 hour and I can usually stay on topic for long enough to get through a lesson. I can also schedule a 30 min break between lessons, which I find very useful.

I don't have ADD or ADHD but I want to understand and help someone who does.

You're doing God's work. Thank you so much.

Tech jobs that have clear cut skills you can acquire, but also need creative problem solving skills, attention to detail can be very beneficial ADHD’ers. Personally, cybersecurity is my favorite because you are constantly working to preserve and improve something that needs to be stable, so it is a good field to look into.

[pamelahumbird]

Teaching fulfills every one of these requirements, AND teachers with ADHD can help the ADHD kids coming up with a lot more compassion than we may have received in school our selves.

As an introverted female with ADHD-PI, I do not do well in high-stress, fast-paced jobs. I do better with some structure, but not micromanagement. Like, once I know my job, I need my boss to let me do it. Check in and offer feedback periodically, be available for questions, but don't stand over my shoulder.

Unfortunately, I'm 47 and still haven't found the right career for me. Most job descriptions seem to include at least 1 of 3 requirements: 1) fast-paced, production-based work, 2) multitasking with a list of 15-20+ different duties, or 3) being a "people-person".

What do you do when you're not good at any of those things? I mean, I CAN can't work with people, but being required to be constantly "on" and friendly/cheerful all day burns me out quickly.

I have adhd and loved and still love medicine but I noticed that I made a lot of careless mistakes and have a hard time paying attention to detail. For those reasons I decided I’d be a liability if I became a doc, nurse or pharmacist.

Entrepreneur here: Risky but failed and got up again several times. I don't understand how this channel isn't bigger. This is such a factor in today's world. Keep up the great work Dr. I'm definitely in a passion fueled lifestyle especially after the decade plus of being in the military. I needed something to give me that "feeling" of helping others but this time en-masse. Love what you do and I've taken some of the recommendations on the supplements and they have helped considerably.

I have been working as a paraeducator in an special Ed autistic class for the last 2 1/2 years and I love it. It’s very structured but also flexible, and high intensity depending on student behaviors and absences of staff/students. You really don’t know what’s gonna happen one minute to the next. Also, given the type of class it is, we change what we’re doing pretty much every 15-20 minutes so I’m not getting bored. We have art, music, pe, play with the kids inside and outside, and I have easy access to sensory objects, fidgets, and other tools my own neurodivergent brain needs.

PS I received my adhd diagnosis last week (at age 35) and I only realized I had it because I work in a neurodivergent classroom.

Most peoples with ADHD like to be busy but not overwhelmed by job thay do. It is hard to find balance sometimes. Jobs that give some changes everyday work great for ADHD person not to be bored by the task thay do.

I’d watching YouTube vids was a job… the best ADHD job

[barefootarts]

Carpentry counts as creative and hands on. And the physical demand helps alot with focus.

[oBATS]

I agree wholeheartedly with this video. I’ve been very successful as of the last 8 years and that is because I found the world of product management.

High intensity, lots of autonomy, get to hyper focus on the most important features … etc.

Also product managers are not project managers so we help define the vision, priorities, set up structure to execute but can move on to the next thing once things are in flight.

Perfect job for me!

I have ADHD and I am a software engineer and I love it, it fits wel for me. It has creativity, freedom, lots of thinking, unlimited learning as you can never know everything.

[anothercampervanchannel]

Doesn't everyone want a passion filled job? 🤔 Also, I can be passionate for all of 5 minutes, then I get bored. I'm 55 and feel I'll never be really successful as I cannot commit to anything long enough to be really successful...🤷

[lindarosebuchanan]

Person trainer. I stay absolutely focused on my client. I love it. BTook me six years to take the test and pass it.

[ImproviseCleaningSolutions]

1 minute into the video and i'm already a subscriber. Usually the point goes right over my head, but this video explains everything so clearly.

[ashabrandiearley]

The universe has a sense humor with me. I’m always rushing to work but I work in a time sensitive setting, airline industry. And my last name is a reference for time lol.

But my job is very much me following steps. I’ve been there for 18 years. It’s really helped me.

Doing sales and marketing/promotions for a small business (retailer) is practically all that I can do. Making advertisements, doing the website, floor sales, shipping products, answering inquiries; basically having 10, 000 responsibilities and being able to see the results from my work.
