Also, do you have ADHD? If you're bright but have trouble holding down a job, that screams ADHD to me. Read up on the different types of ADHD.

Yeah I do. But not really sure what the solution is. I decided to go off my medication because of health risks and I was sick of being wired on adderall 24/7. Things weren't ideal before that either. I am really bad at small tasks like organization but again I have to get through those tasks to get promoted up to more strategic/higher thinking ones, so it seems like a catch 22.[/quote]

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and have a similar career struggle. Down to people constantly telling me I should be leading the organization/company/etc. I have no judgement on the trust fund issue. You're lucky as hell. I would likely be in a far better position professionally now had there been a safety net that would have allowed me to leave bad jobs that were not a good fit and taken lower paying roles that would have had a better upward trajectory. The only thing that saved me was marrying a man who supports our family without needing my income. [/quote]
