Any ideas? I’m 21 so not too many bills to pay.
I just need something that will give me the financial freedom to move around and hopefully some time left over.

    solution sales, be it in IT, AV, Security, office equipment… Generally you work with different clients, in different parts of an industry or multiple industries. All have similar needs but various differences in applications that requires jumping into their work understanding why they need some things in special ways, and then jumping back out to move on to the next project.

    Its lets you leverage your hyper-focus and quick study skills, but wont require you to master an particular thing. Its also often not a direct sales job, but a 1/2 tech 1/2 sales job where you support a traditional sales organization but are expected to be a technical jack of all things within your company/role/industry/product line.

        I’ve made a career out of my ADHD in a presales engineering role… (And ending up in product management).

        I did need to get the social aspects under control (mostly learning to slow down, and to learn when to shut up!), but this was all very manageable if you can take feedback and hyperfocus on putting it in action… 🤪

        I liked that I got to work on the 20% of the customers problem that was the “rocket science” bit, and we would sell consulting services to do the bits that were more like “making license plates”…

        Also, having a new audience every week meant I got to really practice and hone my presentation and soft skills which are super important.
