Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #16: Find the right vocation

We do well in jobs and situations where there is a lot going and a lot of interruptions.

• I would not be able to hold down a job like many people have. I simply cannot hold still and stay quietly focused on one task for long periods of time.
• My job as a Minister for Christian Education and Youth suited me fine.
  • There were constant interruptions.
  • There was more to do than I could possibly do
  • The tasks were varied, ranging from Biblical research to a pickup soccer game in the Dining Room.
  • There was structure to the job, but no routine
  • There was little in my job where I have to be completely focused on something for long periods of time or in high-stimuli situations.
