I’ve been in and out of so many different jobs. Usually I get to a point where I burn out and just can’t go in anymore. Best job I ever had was as a tour guide in a distillery telling people facts all day and working with what I now realise was a whole bunch of other neurodivergent people. Only left that because I wasn’t paid enough to live. Honestly could have stayed there forever otherwise. Such is life!
Currently in the middle of a career change after realising the whole 9-5 office job life isnt sustainable for me. I’m hoping to be able to work for myself soon and not be beholden to other people’s schedules!
What jobs have you tried out over the years? What has worked well for ye?
I am a software engineer. It gives me a good variety of work to keep myself interested, especially since I can work on different features and projects regularly. I have a lot of slow days, which can end up being painfully underestimating. Thankfully since I’m work from home most of the week, it gives me the opportunity to step away and clear my head/find something small to work on around the house.
I really love programming because i feel that I can understand it very well with my chaotic mind, even if corporate work is mind numbing at times
Variety is key!
For sure! I’m realizing that i’m in a bit of a rut currently because I haven’t had enough variety in my work, so I’m deciding to try and learn something new. That way I can also give myself a new project to work on
