Um excuse me, but it's very difficult to pay attention and unless you have it, you don't as wondering what job titles some of you with ADD have.

"Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) consists of two basic symptoms:

* Poor attention span
* Poor impulse control

Hyperactivity may or may not be present. ADD Without Hyperactivity, or ADD/WO is also known as "ADD Inattentive Type". ADD W/O is more common in females. ADD with hyperactivity is more common among males and is called ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD shows up in brain scans and has a genetic link.Yes. Some people who have ADHD symptoms are not affected very much at all. Other people are literally living in cardboard boxes or underneath a bridge because they can't keep a job, have problems with addictions or have other visible signs of untreated ADHD."http://www.additudemag.com/web/article/6...

I would not resort to stripping. That is against my moral values.

What about just ADD the inattentive kind?

I work on an archaeological dig team ... one of my coworkers said he has one of the two you listed and this job is great for it. He said that if he gets distracted - by a bird or something - it's easy for him to pick up where he left off.

Honestly, I think you should figure out what interests you most and look into that. Maybe if you find something that interests you there won't be as much opportunity for you to be distracted or whatever. After looking into what interests you, look into that interest's daily tasks and see how much being distracted would be, well, you know, I would definitely not recommend being an air traffic controller, for sure, since there is a possibility of casualties if you day dream at the wrong time. - - This is what I've been trying to do for myself. It's been suggested (by a professional - though not diagnosed as we didn't discuss it in detail) that I have ADD. Regardless, I get distracted and bored !very! easily, so I have to find something super interesting. The dig team is working well except for the summer heat (so far, I can deal, but we'll see how that is further into the summer). Food service was torture! Retail was as well, but that may be because I'm not really social when it comes to random strangers and when someone is b*tchy to me I'm likely to return the attitude or at least show my annoyance.
