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.
IT has a pretty simple pipeline that can be a lot more granular than a degree program. Early certs are not too difficult and their courses are much shorter than college or other programs. The tricky part is that getting past the "Hello, this is IT. Im here because you broke something" phase, without burning out. You really need to specialize or market yourself as a subject matter expert, the path becomes much more (and less) defined by certs.
