[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are stuck on the idea that you need to find the right white-collar job so that you can become a top executive and have a job your friends would be impressed by. I am here to tell you that that is likely not going to happen for you at this point. Certainly not without massive sacrifice and a lot of work on your coping mechanisms for the ADHD (probably including going back on meds). You seem to think that if you just pick a company and white-knuckle through X amount of time in a menial position they will magically promote you based on your self-perception that you excel at “higher-level thinking.” But 1) That’s not how promotions actually happen and 2) Even if it were, why would the company promote someone with a decade of flaky work history over nothing more than potential when they could instead invest those same resources in someone 5-10 years younger with the exact same potential and no track record of being a screw-up?
