[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Steer her away from anything in the hospitality industry, which can be incredibly attractive for extroverts with ADHD but drug and alcohol abuse is prevalent.

Natural sciences - geology, soil science, environmental science? I’ve worked with a lot of people who spend the majority of their time “in the field” in any number of jobs largely research or permitting/enforcement related, but there’s a lot there. There’s always some desk work, and some involve more writing that others, but easily more than 50% of time outside.

Kind of an out of the box idea - safety inspector. Safety inspectors exist in just about every regulated industry, public and private sector, various levels, and compensation can wildly. Active work with lots of interpersonal interaction.  Can be very detail oriented and a lot of learning rules/regulations, but it’s all very applied. Perfect for ADHD if a subject area of interest.  One path for that:

Another idea is to focus on an industry where there is a lot of opportunity to advance. Example: https://www.aar.org/issue/railroad-jobs/  Some work is and stays blue collar but there are many career paths.

Real estate

Jumping on here- if sales is attractive, real estate brokerage esp commercial is all people with ADHD, albeit ones who are social, outgoing and generally attractive.
The entire damn lot of them.
