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?

    Be an engineer they said, its all about problem solving they said, they lied. No one mentioned the documentation and reports, just let me tinker/build/fix/test things. Turns out should be a technician 😂but i do love it really.

      Do computer programming (software development) so you only need to talk to computers.
      Haha, just kidding. 90% of it is communicating with humans. Either directly (tickets, reviews, meetings, …) or indirectly (comments in code, commit messages, …). 😕
