👋🏻Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed this video! Let me know if you've struggled with ADHD job hopping like I have! 😥😥 And don't forget to join us on the free Focus Bootcamp! ---> be.ultranormal.co/focus-bootcamp - Chris
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 ADHD, love driving (racing especially) and have driven with professional race car drivers that gave me props. I think if someone with ADHD or otherwise are interested in it then they’ll be likely to perform well and also be less prone to collisions.
The actual act of driving is stimulating to me, I love it. Following the rules of the road has been hard for me, it's definitely allot easier now that I sold my fast sports car for a slow hatch back. I can just zen out and relax behind the wheel.
Great video again! I personally can relate. That being said avoiding such careers also pushes us ADHD’ers into comfort zone which is not great for our brains. We really need to get comfortable about discomfort
Ive been a dj,events manager, restaurant manager, zoo ranger, sales, customer service, marketing, emcee, uber driver, bartender. What you is not false, but adhd is very different for each person. The longest job i could do was being a club dj, unfortunately in my country ( Malaysia) there are not many dj vacancies. Currently i am unemployed. Hope this helps.. and for those who say adhd is like having a super power - F You -
Absolutely! And like I said in the video, this isn't a video about what you can/can't do, if you're interested in something, then your chance of success with it is way higher than any *perfect ADHD career*.
Yes, ADHDers and narcissists don’t go well together. They know exactly how to screw with us/second guess ourselves if we catch them doing something that isn’t quite right. I’ve 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 wasn’t warning to be mean, just because it meant I couldn’t 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 should’ve 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 don’t hate anyone, and usually see some sort of positive in anyone (find a tiny bit of empathy and understanding somewhere… even if they’re awful racists or murders)…. But with her…. I absolutely hate her guts, and will never forgive her. The weirdest thing is I reckon if I ran into her, she’d 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 “nicest guy in the world” (not a single person had a bad thing to say about him… except about his choice in wife)…. 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. 😂😵💫😭.
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?
I also work as a land surveyor. Only for a week because of the same reason. My survey aide acts like he knows it all about surveying but all he does his replacing wrong measured values into something that’s near the desired measurement.
Like I said in the video, I'm not saying it's impossible, just pointing out challenges and the reasons why. ADHDers can be successful at whatever they choose to!
I don't think it's as clear cut as this. ADHD includes a set of a traits and behaviours that's quite wide ranging. Because of this, it's not often that two people with ADHD are going to live the same way Providing a list like this might provide a sensible format to focus the topic for your video, but in reality I don't think it's a useful approach. People need to consider their own abilities. For instance, I'm diagnosed with ADHD-PI and I thrive on complexity and have built a development career based on it.
Hopefully I made it clear that it's not a matter of ADHDer's "can't" do these jobs, but if you don't have a direct interest in them then they may be tougher than most. I have other videos on my channel about jobs that ADHDers are really good at!
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!
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.
@@chrissyp7 Well I didn't say it was going to be easy 😁 Just doable with the mental condition that we have. Instead of being on a disadvantage, In the trades we are about average.
