as a veteran with ADHD the military is the most difficult thing to do. Constant deadlines, paperwork, intensely tedious task. The physical training is easy as is the actual hands on work but those are only small components of the overall job.

a teacher that forgets every students name, loses half of them on a field trip and turns up late every single day

a teacher who gest always late

Hey at least the kids like me

[@ToadRash-mu3ln]

That's my story)

[@callum698]

As someone with ADHD I’ve had a few jobs over the last 10 years since leaving school and I can tell you the military is not suited to someone with ADHD . Yes the structure and routine are amazing but there’s so much idle time and redundant pointless tasks that do not stimulate in the slightest .

[@user-mu5pt5cp1w]

Hi Carlton how are you ? I have a question did you have any issue with time management or motivation and organization issues while in BT or the job ? And did you fit in with people

[@scarecrow6919]

@@user-mu5pt5cp1w hey Faisal I’m good thank you! How about you?
I wasn’t actually too bad with time management as I treated everything I did as a high stakes situation and if your late in the military you can be disciplined pretty harshly and fear of falling behind or not being deployed because of this would be tragic. I was extremely motivated and driven when I did my recruit training , I wasn’t even the best athlete or smartest person throughout my training however I got best recruit out of 160 people. Once you go into your allocated job specific training I was lost, everything moved way too slow and I lost my hyper focus

[@scarecrow6919]

I did fit in well with people but also hated everyone

[@user-mu5pt5cp1w]

@@scarecrow6919 and were you medicated ? And do you advise someone with ADHD and anxiety to join in my country the BT is 8months

[@scarecrow6919]

@@user-mu5pt5cp1w I wasn’t medicated during recruit training but I was during career training

but being a paramedic means endless and endless reports...even as a student it means having to write endless essays...so...

[@ka7la2]

I know I would be a great doctor I just have to get through all the studying in med school first

[@amandad422]

Been My dream since Elementary School. Only Diagnosed ADD a year or so ago,but I've got the medical knowledge.

[@diapherotrites]

7 years!!! How are you doing??

[@slimarkane5735]

Be careful with the "military" recommendation. If you make a career out of it, you won't be in the "field" your entire career and soon you will be behind a desk. This is currently my problem as I try to transition out of Human Resources.

[@musicgirl999]

How about a graphic, web and multimedia designer?

[@darcy7938]

I really want to be a surgeon but I obviously can't cause I'm not smart enough. But I have been looking into art drama and history and hopefully they are some areas I can explore
BTW did anyone else get bored and go to comments within 15 seconds

[@tmc1373]

not even 15 seconds, unfortunately....

[@SP-mf9sh]

Military is awful. Overly structured, people yelling at you and organization/ time management. Huh??

Maybe military is basically a great option, the most countrys dont allow ADHD/ADD-people vv

[@snoochieboochies2011]

IT IS NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR PEOPLE WITH ADHD I WOULD KNOW. I'm tired of hearing this it is literally the polar opposite
