I've been in and out of so many different jobs. Usually I get to a point where I burn out and just can't go in anymore. Best job I ever had was as a tour guide in a distillery telling people facts all day and working with what I now realise was a whole bunch of other neurodivergent people. Only left that because I wasn't paid enough to live. Honestly could have stayed there forever otherwise. Such is life!

Currently in the middle of a career change after realising the whole 9-5 office job life isnt sustainable for me. I'm hoping to be able to work for myself soon and not be beholden to other people's schedules!

What jobs have you tried out over the years? What has worked well for ye?

I've done a handful of different fields, but they all end the same with me burning out and quitting as well. Web design, organic farming, dishwashing/prep cook, hostel front desk and housekeeping, etc.

Now I've been out of work for a while and I have no idea what to even do anymore. Farming was great until my body told me it was done, especially after having covid. I've been a bit lost for what to do ever since, sadly.
