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.

Dropped out of college. Parents said DO SOMETHING OR MOVE OUT. I needed the whip cracked in all fairness. Went to school to become a stengroapher. Burned through the program, been doing it for 17 years now.

I was more concerned about AI before AI really showed up, and now I'm okay.

    Where do you live? Even 20 years ago we used digital recordings when I worked for a provincial court here in Canada.

    Stenographers aren't really a thing here anymore.

    I live in New Jersey, and there is tons of work available. There are certain courts, like municipal court, that use recordings, and mainly because 99% of the time nobody will ever go back to see what was said. Majority of my work is pretrial depositions, some EUOs, and I also do land use boards (which frequently end up in court). NJ loves court.
