I’m asking out of curiosity mostly.
Is anyone here into digital marketing? That’s what I’m studying for right now.
Network engineer. Aka systems engineer troubleshooting expert.
Pro tip. if you are ever in the situation where you think the problem is the network, think again. By all means ask for our help troubleshooting, but don’t blame us when you cant find what is wrong with your app.

Tech support, get that dopamine solving new problems everyday
All the previous jobs were in the vein of either huge risk (pizza delivery) or puzzle solving. Got quite disheartend doing anything less demanding.
Software engineer is my title but my actual role is much more … chaotic.
I love it
Tech lead here, but same idea. The chaos and variety is exactly what I love about my job too.
Same here. If something is on fire it’s fun to deal with and easy to hyper focus on till it’s resolved. If it’s repetitive everyday kind of stuff, ughhhh.
Software engineer. I swear half of us are on the spectrum.
Nice. What software do you specialize in?
Same. And, to be fair, it’s a fairly well-paying field that requires some amount of specialized knowledge, but many applications of that knowledge are usually pretty easy to find with a bit of Google know-how, and use of Google as a resource is not only acceptable, but expected. I feel like that meshes relatively well with how ADHD brains work.
I used to do a bit of Help Desk in IT, and one of the “open” secrets of that field (and later I learned that it’s for all tech fields,) was that a lot of the job was knowing how to find the solution online. Next, was how the heck you install/apply it.
I work disability support…
I find the nature of ADHD can really help some people with other mental health issues as I tend to think about all the things, all possibilities etc and my guys are well looked after because of this
What kind of disabilities are you handling? Physical or mental?
Either way, I’m glad there are those out there willing to do that kind of job for those people. I surely couldn’t do it for long or well.
