[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has pretty severe ADHD -- even with medication- so bad at executive functioning, organizing, sustained attention to low interest activities, etc.  Also has a learnimg disability with writing. Despite this, she is smart, good at math, loves kids, attractive (I mention because it can be helpfuk for some jobs), has an outgoing personality.  She has a year before college and she is starting to think about future career paths (i.e. teaching, nursing). Does anyone with ADHD have a career path that has been especially good for them or their family members?

My son had pretty severe ADHD, barely made it through high school; barely made it through community college; and has been a police officer in a small department for 3 years.  He hates it (but would hate any job).  The good parts:  there are very few calls for service; very little paperwork; rare court appearances and no real quotas for anything.  It’s a very small geographic area (so not lots to navigate), there are usually 4 other officers on the shift, and he gets paid about $90k per year right now.  It’s 12-hour shifts, so it also allows for many days off. [/quote]
