Great video again! I personally can relate. That being said avoiding such careers also pushes us ADHDâers into comfort zone which is not great for our brains. We really need to get comfortable about discomfort
Thank you for the kind words!
I do agree! Not everyone wants to hear that, but I'm all about discomfort, it's the space where we grow the most.
I absolutely refuse to believe that people with ADHD are worse drivers. In fact, I'd argue that they're actually better.
You can choose to believe whatever you wish, I'd just suggest you take in as much information as you can into those beliefs. I'll leave you with this for your consideration: www.additudemag.com/adhd-driving-risks-research-safety/#:~:text=Drivers%20with%20ADHD%20experience%20more,crash%20than%20drivers%20without%20ADHD.&text=Adolescents%2C%20more%20than%20any%20other,risk%20for%20motor%20vehicle%20crashes.&text=Within%20this%20group%2C%20teen%20drivers,non%2DADHD%20peers%20of%20crashing.
I have a driving job because it pays well
I have adhd and driving isnât very fulfilling. I also have had many near misses due to being distracted.
Finally understand why I hated cold-calling and now later on in my career prefer to work in a role where I make the buying decisions đ
Ha, yeah I hated cold calling too, it was the worst
This is really good. Thank you for doing this video.đ¶
Thanks so much Jess!!
You are SO spot-on!
This video is awesome, so relatable!
Thanks so much!
Really appreciate you stopping by
I love solo work as an introvert.
That's awesome! I do a lot of work solo too, I try to mix it up as much as I can to keep myself out of my comfort zone :)
I was a land surveyor that was exactly kinda right for a person with adhd everyday newplace it was fun but i had a shitty boss i should try it again
Nice! Loving the work you do is such a massive help to getting the work done. A toxic boss can suck all the fun out of it tho. Maybe there's another place where you can do a similar role?
Thanks for making a great video! Could you please make a list of examples of careers under these broad categories? This is something i am struggling with nowadays
Hey! Thanks for the comment!
I hesitate to really give the specific examples and to keep it to the principles because ultimately job roles can vary from company to company so some paperwork-filled jobs may not be a paperwork-filled job at another company.
The main thing I would say is to not look for one perfect career, simply keep developing the self-awareness as to how your brain works, and keep iterating in the direction that interests you.
There's never one perfect role, but there will always be better roles for you as you grow.
Hope that helps!

Keep it up with this topic! U just got one sub from me!
Thank you so much!!
Was working in scaffolding but alongside several narcissistic people was horrendous had to quit
Oof, that sounds like a lot to deal with
Yes, ADHDers and narcissists donât go well together. They know exactly how to screw with us/second guess ourselves if we catch them doing something that isnât quite right. Iâve only worked with one person like that. I had no idea I had ADHD at the time and kind of started believing what she was saying/really second guessing myself + thinking I was imagining things or a bit delusional. Unfortunately, I was 110% correct. And everything I was warning would happen, happened (I wasnât warning to be mean, just because it meant I couldnât do my job⊠which was fundamental to the project⊠if I failed, the whole thing failed). I got thrown under the bus for her mismanagement and mistakes, and I failed. What was normally a 4mth job, I had to try and do in 2wks (with wringing info and mistakes everywhere). I shouldâve run the moment I was onto it. It was an awful lesson + pretty much destroyed me and going further in that industry (I did really well prior). I donât hate anyone, and usually see some sort of positive in anyone (find a tiny bit of empathy and understanding somewhere⊠even if theyâre awful racists or murders)âŠ. But with herâŠ. I absolutely hate her guts, and will never forgive her. The weirdest thing is I reckon if I ran into her, sheâd act all chummy chummy like nothing had ever happened. She threw me ROYALLY under the bus to protect herself. I remember her talking about how she met her husband, who was known far and wide as being the ânicest guy in the worldâ (not a single person had a bad thing to say about him⊠except about his choice in wife)âŠ. She said the secret of how she hooked up with him, was she snagged him when he was at his absolute rock bottom (he had a significant loss?). She was awful. ADHDer, trust your gut and run for the hills if you cross paths with a narcissist. đđ”âđ«đ.
@@rainbows_trees_clouds_dais1766 that sounds like a tough situation indeed. I hope you are in a better place now?
So any job really...
Definitely wouldn't say that. I made another video on a lot of great careers for ADHDers
Pro-tip, get a trade
Nice
Where societal pressure is important factor to become aware of-
such as being afraid to even consider certain trade because society labels it as feminine, sissy, non-manly.
I'm in a trade, it still sucks and is hard to keep up with it all
@@ranc1977 Which trade with would that be? Hairstylist?
@@chrissyp7 Well I didn't say it was going to be easy đ Just doable with the mental condition that we have. Instead of being on a disadvantage, In the trades we are about average.
Where are yo from?
England!
After watching this video till the end, i can conclusively say that it is absolute BS
Thanks for the feedback!
England or united kindom
yep! :)
Are sure CZcams is right for you? đ
Based on this list: solo, sedentary, few benefits, lots of moving parts, rejection... OMG lol
