Mind-numbing, repetitive job are the absolute worst kind for people with ADHD.[/quote]

I was going to say! Bartender would be better, if you're looking at that level of job. Quick projects, short bursts of social interaction.[/quote]

It all comes back to IF the person can manage their symptoms. A bartender with ADHD would not survive a busy restaurant on a Saturday night when there are bar customers who need food and servers who need drinks made and someone needs a refill and someone else needs to be tabbed out and another server needs change from the register.[/quote]

I mean to add they won't survive unless they have a system for handling these things that works for them.[/quote]

Sure. That's true. I know when I've had counter/server jobs (last one was 20-something years ago), the ones I've liked the best have been at moderately busy - but not slammed or empty - places. I don't know if that's a function of ADHD or just personal preference.
