ADD/ADHD sufferer doesn't mean that your professional life remains at standstill. You have other career options to select. Choose suitable job in case you have not found any yet.
Management: Although management is not considered suitable career option for people suffering from ADD/ADHD their excellent performances always keep them in the limelight. The matter of the fact is that such jobs are not ADD-friendly. Still some ADDers perform them efficiently by uniting their colleagues and get all admiration. Managerial position requires keen attention, organizational skill and focused approach. It is a bit tough for those suffering from ADD/ADHD. But you can achieve them through strong will power.
Nursing: Choosing nursing career is challenging as well as satisfactory experience for you in which you may have to face extremely dull and unavoidable circumstances. But this career also makes you a staunch disciplinarian.
Medical: Just like nursing, this field is ripe with opportunities for ADDers. If you have the ability to hyper-focus, then medical school will be a breeze for you, and your job will be very exciting. You would do well, however, to pick a specialty that offers you variety, autonomy, and excitement - think surgeon or gynecologist!
Attorney: The biggest problem with this field is that you would have to learn to be detail-oriented - this isn't impossible, just difficult. Many attorneys have a paralegal who works with them, and often this person can be put in charge of much of the detail portion. At any rate, a trial attorney, for example, offers excitement, autonomy, and variety.
Insurance: I can almost hear you yawning as you read this. If the notion of working in this field intrigues you, think about a job as a sales representative for insurance or a claims adjuster. These jobs require much less monotonous work, enable you to be sociable, and offer variety as well as autonomy.
Computer: We can avoid boredom of working on computers. How do you feel working continuously sitting at the same place? Do you really like computers? My emphasis is you focus on new aspects of computer education. Be innovative; apply inventing and attractive programmes or adjust computer parts. Such practice keeps you engaged and you involve in knowledge pool. Be creative rather than merely doing data work.
Recreation: Make career in health to serve others. You should be well built and physically talented to go for this option. You must have the intention to serve others after considering a job of coach, dance instructor or fitness trainer. It is hardly affected of any recession and best career choice too.
Consultant: Think of a consulting job like you might that of an entrepreneur. Most consultants enjoy being presented with a problem and coming up with solutions. You are energized by trying to "sell" someone your ideas. Often someone else will be in charge of implementing your plan and seeing to the details. This sort of career will offer you autonomy, variety, and stimulation.
Creative: Many ADDers are extremely creative. They enjoy using their imaginations to create art, to dance, to write, etc. Often what is hard, though, is the need for some self-discipline. Many artists are very autonomous, but can get scattered quite easily. However, if you are truly enjoying what you are creating, you can also find yourself hyper-focused. Jobs that cater to the creative side of individuals may include teaching art, working in an advertising office or some other creative venture, or as a writer for a public relations firm.
Numerous options for the attention deficit disorder or ADHD-friendly jobs are here. Don't make this list final and look for hundreds of other options. Most important aspect while you choose a job is self preparation. Introspect and know your strengths as well as weaknesses particularly when you suffer from ADD/ADHD. Make sure that you have made up your mind to attend an interview after considering such aspects carefully. The possibility is that you choose a job which doesn't suit your specific ADD criteria, but you can still prefer them which satisfies your urge.
If you still cannot figure out the direction you should take, you might consider finding a career specialist or a vocational psychologist. These are professionals who are trained to help you narrow your search, and match your interests and abilities with the right career. Just don't forget to mention your ADD or ADHD, and be sure to explain in as much detail as possible how it might affect your working life! - 29881
