[quote=Anonymous]"Well, they mostly don't becom surgeons or test pilots. Other than that, the real world works on projects on deadlines. Rarely is somebody tasked with something to be done in 15 minutes, that can't be done in 22 or an hour-long project that can't be done in an hour and half. If you're a boss that does ask that, you probably need management training. People ask this stupid question all the time. It's really a dumb question to ask.

It’s not a dumb question to ask. Many careers have stringent deadlines. Not 22 hours. Not sure where you work, but even being a lawyer requires tight deadlines where you may only have a few hours to get something done."

So, being a litigator is probably not the best track for someone with ADD. Or, it's a great one if you have a kick butt paralegal. The buzz and excitement of a constant stream of new projects and questions to answer is really fun for me and I was really great at it. But it wasn't great for my overall health because I could easily skip meals and exercise since I was so immersed in the project. Great for my clients but bad for me.

There is no one size fits all here, people.

And I've taught grad and undergrads. I wish I'd had all the insights shared here by the current profs back when I was at the front of the classroom. [/quote]
