As some with ADHD, my interest fluantuats wildly. How does an average person choose a job thats suppose to be for life and not worry about loss of interest, let alone some with ADHD.

I picked it because I was good at it, and there were multiple facets to expand to. I fell into a niche for a few years and then promoted to a generalist position where I am basically half department head and half principal engineer. I basically quit jobs every 2 years, and had a high track record of being hired back to the same teams I quit when I ran out of money.
