What skills, attitudes, personality traits have you seen mismatched to a certain job that later made the individual an awesome worker in another job?

    ADHD. I’m an excellent developer… I’d probably murder someone if I had to do retail or do any other “always on” job.

      Working in emergency medicine would be amazing, but the first lull that happened, I’d fuck up and people would die

        I have ADHD and I have worked in Emergency Medicine…and the lulls just result in going down weird rabbit holes in the medical information databases. I’m a medical student now and I am really hoping to get into Emergency med for residency.
