You can choose some of the best alternative career options while suffering from ADD/ADHD disorder. Go for other career options if you haven't found any suitable job until now.
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: You can remain self-sufficient through choosing nursing career. It needs patience and discipline. Although there are many challenges before you in this profession it gives you satisfaction and ample opportunities to serve humanity.
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!IMedical: Another exciting career like nursing is medicine which expands with its diverse applications. ADD sufferers get opportunity to serve humanity through this challenging profession. You must dedicate yourself in your chosen area either it is gynecological or surgical. This profession brings excitement in your life and you are satisfied. It provides ample opportunities and independency.
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: Your observation about insurance may vary. I feel your yawning when you go through this piece. Do you think insurance profession has any discrepancy? Think twice how you would do as claims adjuster or insurance sales representative. This job is less monotonous hence provide you enough freedom. You enjoy variety and develop contacts.
Computer: Let's face it, some computer work is boring, boring, boring - all that sitting in one place doing the same thing over and over! What I am talking about here is different. If you love computers, love inventing new programs, or enjoy taking computers apart and putting them back together again, you may find the perfect job. SImply putting in data will drive you insane!IComputer: 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: Choose a career which brings challenge and demands commitment from your side. Consulting leads to entrepreneurship. Usually consultants are told to sort out the problems with an effective solution. You are trusted and paid for applying intelligence, and your ideas are implemented by others for having result-oriented output. You have freedom, autonomy, choice and opportunity to apply simulation in this specific area.
Creative: ADD sufferers can't be surpassed due to this disorder. They have done tremendous contribution in creative fields through their imaginative approach. They perform wonderfully in dance, writing and et al. Have systematic goal to make things smoother. Artists are independent thinkers and trained in generalizing ideas. You should be systematic in your creative work so that whatever you create becomes a masterpiece. There are many career options in it to choose from teaching art, working in an advertising office, starting creative ventures or writing in public relations firms.
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.
Hopefully things have become clear by now. If you are still hallucinated to choose a career path for you have some counseling from a career specialist or vocational psychologist. They would help you specify your job search after studying your profile. What you require at this juncture is tell them about your ADD/ADHD in detail and explain other related issues to make them zero upon a specific career option for you.
