How does someone with attention deficit keep a steady job?

ADD Add comments

I know there are different degrees of the condition, but in general on average for someone to hold a steady job, how challenging is it?

    Not really all that challenging as long as you find the right kind of job. I constantly have things to occupy myself… lots of little tasks with a few big projects mixed in. Works out well for me.

    Garbage collection. Constantly on the move.

    It shouldn’t be too hard once you find the job you really like. One that has variety would be good.
    My daughter had ADD in school and now works as a cashier at a major dept store and is off her medication for about 1 1/2 years.

    Get a job that requires many different tasks in no particular order…like the medical profession, for example. Or how about being a dispatcher? That would be constantly changing…every call would be different. Or you could be a bouncer…eyes roaming everywhere looking for trouble. How about a blackjack dealer…that’s probably exciting…

    There’s lots of things for people with short attention spans…you’re on here, aren’t you?

    Get on meds. Or find a job that keeps you busy on many different projects.
