High Powered Job for Stimulus Seeking ADD Adults

Since we don’t have as much dopmaine floating around in our brain as non ADDers, and are consequently understimulated, ADD adults seek out jobs that will give them extra stimulation either consciously or unconsciously. If they don’t find a highly stimulating job, they risk self medicating in unhealthy ways to boost their levels of dopamine, i.e., through tobacco, alcohol, drugs, gambling, impulsive spending which all raise dopamine levels in the brain.

This high powered video gives an example of what might be the perfect job for many understimulated  ADD Adults.
Can you think of a more stimulating job for an ADD adult?

Gong Your Prospects

Filed under: ADD Humour, ADD and Technology Pete Quily @

The Electric Pulp blog did a hilarious post called 12 Inquiries that got the gong, named after the tv show The Gong Show

Some of the humor may be limited to those familiar with web design, here’s a few good ones.

4. I’d like to launch my site in 3 weeks and have a design/development budget of $600. Can you provide me with a .PSD mockup of your ideas to help me make my decision?

7. We manufacture approximately 85,000 industrial truck parts and need an ecommerce outlet available in four weeks. I need your help convincing the company to spend more than $1,000. How quickly can you come out?
