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.

Yup, its pretty straightforward. Biggest thing holding me back IMO is lack of foundational knowledge of both scripting logic and networking. I can do CLI interaction just fine but trying to write out a cohesive script I just fall flat on my face. In my last job everyone could (and did) script circles around me.

    The advice I have on the scripting practice is to just do home lab stuff. A bucket of pis or a few VMs to get something working where your not afraid to break things. (Im not good at it either, but practice is the key takeaway).

    As for the networking, they got certs for that, and said home lab will make applying your new skills easier until you find them relavent for an employer.
