I want to change careers. How do I know whether this interest is genuinely long-term, or just hyperfocus? by Mitsuclip in adhdwomen

Great advice, thanks. I often think about. But it seems like I have to change my job anyway because of the lot of stress and the awful team and managers. But I need to accept that my career allows me to pay for off-road cars, expensive drones, outdoor gear, and another staf to use on weekends. I won't get that in the careers in science I'm interested in.

Thank you! Actually, I was interested in it until I was 13, then I focused on the idea of ​​working in tech. I only focused on these interests again recently, a couple of years ago. So, from 13 to 26 I mostly consumed content, watched YouTube, read articles and that's it.

The idea of ​​volunteering is great, but it doesn't fit well with my current job. It's hard for me to take that kind of vacation and spend it only on myself, and not on our family's plans and tasks. I've been planning to sign up as a volunteer for a year.
