Any ideas? I'm 21 so not too many bills to pay.
I just need something that will give me the financial freedom to move around and hopefully some time left over.

I've made a career out of my ADHD in a presales engineering role.. (And ending up in product management).

I did need to get the social aspects under control (mostly learning to slow down, and to learn when to shut up!), but this was all very manageable if you can take feedback and hyperfocus on putting it in action... 🤪

I liked that I got to work on the 20% of the customers problem that was the "rocket science" bit, and we would sell consulting services to do the bits that were more like "making license plates"...

Also, having a new audience every week meant I got to really practice and hone my presentation and soft skills which are super important.
