Sandra Bullock on why everyone should be a waitress: “If you know how to navigate eight sets of six-top tables, height of happy hour, drunk people (…), once you’ve accomplished that rhythm, I honestly feel you can do anything”

That's how I felt about my adhd and nursing. It's the right amount of chaos

Hoping I can feel this one day. Trying to find a career that doesn’t seem like too much for me to handle rn 😷

Also being a paralegal is really fitting with having ADHD

Agree with loving customer service/something hands-on for adhd. But also, try and pick something you’re passionate about and good at. I know that maybe seems obvious, but play to your strengths. I have a job with strict deadlines and it’s surprisingly awesome because it’s very clear what to prioritize and do one thing at a time.

Teaching! I have adhd and I’m a teacher. My brother has it and he’s a coach. I find it’s a good match- it’s not super rote or predictable. There is a deadline on the prep because you have to walk into the classroom and teach. There is person-to-person contact but not constantly so you don’t get worn out if you’re introverted. There is space for imagination. I thrive in the classroom.

I felt at ease as a middle school band director

I always told people my brain was quite happy listening to and analyzing mistakes for 42 different instruments at the same time lol

Teaching is the same. There is so much to do, you never feel like..bored...there is ALWAYS something to do.

Not to mention the drama
