(first off I don't want to get involved in the politics of here I DISAGREE with a lot but what i DO LIKE about this sub is how you are good at providing advice and mentorship to young men :)

(SKIP RANT) and go to the end if you want)

ADHD spectrum here. Tried asking on r/ADHD (in a different more polite manner of course). You guessed it called me an “inkwell” and said: “fuck you” with a slew of other childish expletives and then banned me because I commented on some center of far left sub that they apparently did not "approve of" without mentioning it in the rules lol). (lol those clowns claim to be “family friendly” uh bub cursing like a white-trash pirate is not a “kid friendly” thing to be doing lol).

Anyhoo,

Our school system in my grandparents day used to grade ONLY based on testing meaning you could show up to class drunk/high/ with a heroin needle in your arm but as LONG as you could pass the TESTS! You were good! There was no mandatory homework (it was optional and as a way to prepare you for the EXAMS) or bullshit “group projects” if you failed YOU FAILED no crying to mommy or asking for “extra credit” Basically only a MINORITY of SMART and ACADEMICALLY TALENTED people went to school; and a high school/college degree actually MEANT something! NOW the school grades on "organization", "busywork", "time management", "cleanliness" because the students who were less academically talented were bad “test takers” so in essence we have to dumb down school to pander to them. In essence making it so you can STILL pass the classes despite BOMBING all the tests.

Most “ADHD” is people saying: “fuck it I don’t want to spend 3.5 hours every day doing busy work I can review this material in an afternoon pass the tests!” (most of the “big exams” are DUMBED down too so it is REALLY not that hard to do well on the tests)

Now a lot of bullshit office jobs don’t care if you produce the END RESULT but rather if you are good in “company culture” whatever the heck that is supposed to mean.

(END OF RANT)

SOOO.

• I am in my 20’s TERRIBLE at organization BUT I am fairly physically strong and ONLY care about PRODUCING the END RESULT and not being a whiny worm.

• I was thinking maybe a pee wee coach, personal trainer, or possibly working in nutrition since I am fairly athletic or possibly construction or some other type of trade (I can work outside in the sun all day)

• Look many NBA guys wanted to be doctors/lawyers/professors but instead INVESTED IN WHAT THEY WERE GOOD AT and became successful NBA players who earn MILLIONS based on that. (not saying I could do that but you get my point.

• If lebron james tried to be doctor he would end up depressed, broke, possibly flunk out of uni and have trouble finding a job but he realized he was GOOD at basketball so became a basketball player instead of a professor and SUCCEEDED in that!

• But the school seems to want to FORCE everyone even if they are terrible at “organization” To be office workers.
