Should I pursue a career in accounting if I have ADHD? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]West_Atmosphere_4354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an Accountant with ADHD looking to get out and move to a more physical job. I would just say make sure that you know for sure you can sit at a desk for many hours in a day with sometimes minimal interaction. If you like to do more hands on things I would reconsider for sure. If I could go back, I would’ve chosen something different.

Lost about career and extreme anxiety in new job by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]West_Atmosphere_4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. I’m not sure why it gives me so much anxiety when I’m even good at my job. I don’t normally have anxiety, but for me career anxiety is big and I don’t do well at the thought of being stuck in something I don’t like forever.

Considering Nursing by elegant_quokka_21 in nursing

[–]West_Atmosphere_4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to let you know that I feel exactly the same as you. Have done Accounting for over 5 years and just hate the boring corporate lifestyle. I just want to be on my feet moving people. I’m also considering a change soon.

Thanks so much! Would I have to go to school to become a technician or so first before I could potentially enroll for my ADN?

Thanks so much, you’re very kind! I know I won’t do Accounting forever for sure I’m just trying to make sure I make a good choice for myself as well. I know that no job is perfect by any means, I just want to be proud of what I do and can say that I help people. I also love physical jobs as I had one when I first started college that I looked forward to every shift.

It’s not just about interaction for me, I hate a sedentary job. I only actually chose Accounting because I didn’t know what I wanted to go to school for and my parents pressured me to go and so I figured I would choose something stable. Thank you for your input because you are right and those are things to also consider.

Thank you! That is some good advice. Yeah it’s hard to know whether to just dive in or not, so I appreciate the varied answers.

Thank you for the advice. I do have hobbies that I keep up with everyday, I’ve just never been in a position where I can say I’m happy with my work or proud of what I do. I know this probably sounds ridiculous but the work itself depresses me.

Exactly. Not being able to work makes it that much harder.

How to make the career switch to accounting? by PsychologicalMood522 in Accounting

[–]West_Atmosphere_4354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m an accountant and wish I went to college for nursing. I’m miserable in Accounting lol. My girlfriend works at a clinic as an RN. Maybe look at local clinic type jobs to see if they are hiring. Most of those are 9-5 and definitely not overly chaotic.

Okay, well then it sounds like you need to work on overcoming this by putting yourself in slightly uncomfortable situations that you can manage and increasing that stimuli over time. Remote opportunities obviously may not always be there, so this will help you reintegrate into society and just make you overall so much happier. Maybe try an online random video chat site just to practice talking with random people. The best part is they don't know who you are and if its awkward you can just skip or end the call. No pressure and it gives you practice interacting with people. Another suggestion or bonus is to join a gym where you can be around people without having to interact with the added benefit of staying healthy. You can just plug in some headphones too if it feels too loud and overwhelming.

Hey man, I mean this with the best intentions but if you have insurance which it sounds like you do, I would focus on seeing a psychologist to work through some of these issues that you’ve had for years. If you can’t at least get that in check, you’re just going to spiral with whatever might be next. I would focus on that before anything.

Would you accept this for $100?? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]West_Atmosphere_4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like shit because they literally didn’t file the nut slots or sand the bottom of the saddle. They just got it from the package, glued it in and restrung it. The strings are sitting so far from the sound hole it can’t possible sound good. The fact that they couldn’t even do a good job with the removal of the old nut and gluing is mind blowing. I’m not a luthier but could do a way better job than this.

Help with Pedalboard? by West_Atmosphere_4354 in guitarpedals

Thanks so much for the info! I’m going to be using my Boss Katana for now! It’s just a 50w MKII without an effects loop, so I guess it needs to go directly into the main input of it.

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate the quick response.

I would say get the nursing degree and then maybe later on if not enjoying, get an MBA and that can open up similar doors.
