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?

    Generally: Programmer - Currently making video games but have also worked with a vast array of platforms and things. Corporate apps, mobile, AR, Weird art things with Raspberry Pi’s…

    For me being able to fall into a hole to solve a problem is the best feeling ever, problem is then everything goes by the wayside and I forget to stop and eat or sleep 😅.

    Of course the downsides is attempting to do anything I can’t latch my brain onto. I know now that I am not built for a corporate environment…

      Just saw this post. Weird art things with a raspberry pi sounds very interesting. What kind of stuff did you make?
