For me it was the fact that I would always be slower than everyone else and I would have to put in twice the effort.

I'm looking into doing something similar to Kevin, I want a job that's more flexible but I'm worried that jobs like that won't pay great. I settled on becoming an ultrasound tech because the college program incorporates a lot of hands on training, considering it's in the medical field it's a well paying and secure job. But, I do wonder if it's truly right more me sometimes...

A flexible job is one thing. But a job that requires a flexible person is something else entirely. Kevin is paid quite handsomely for his willingness to pack his gear and fly halfway around the world to do his thing on short notice.

I suspect that for every ADHD person like Kevin, there are a dozen struggling because they can't find the right job (probably not least because the act of job-hunting is itself terrible for people with ADHD).
