Don't know what to do...
16/f
I'm probably a bit under average at school because I'm ADD and I'm a bit of a procrastinator, but when it comes to something that entertains me or that I'm passionate about, I work my butt off, particularly with writing since that's basically my only skill. Today a guy came to talk to us about careers and it got me to thinking about what I want to do. The problem?
What kind of a career could a person like me get?
I might not graduate for another two years since I'm missing a credit, so I think I have some time, but I still want to have a plan...
I was hoping for a job that might allow me to stay home since I never leave my house, unless it's to go to school, but that's it. Are there any careers for someone who prefers to stay at home with any writing skills? Maybe communication over the Internet or history or something? I've been told to try journalism, but I write complete fiction... And I never finish any of my stories, so there's a flaw in my writing skills. Anyway, yea, my question is what kind of careers are there out there for people like me?

Hi there!
There are many different jobs you can do from home from running a business, IT related things, civil servant jobs, writing and research jobs etc. Though I must say that you seem resigned to a limited life because of your ADD.
I think if you were to get help from a professional in managing your ADD, anxieties and putting a lot of effort into your studies, there's no reason at all why ADD needs to hold you back from having a career that you're passionate about.
As you've said, you'll be in school for a couple more years - use that time to challenge yourself and your abilities and see what you can really do when you put your mind to it. You may surprise yourself.
You dont need to decide right now. Just learn to enjoy learning and exploring, see where that takes you.
Best of luck!
