Hell, searching for my first job changed how I perceive work.

The job market as it is is tough.

Add autism & ADHD to the mix and it gets tougher.

I decided to give as much of a shit about the corporate world as it does to me - which is to say, I stopped searching altogether. I decided I'd rather be unemployed.

Thats the go getter attitude companies are looking for!

Something to hard? Give up. That's sure to get you hired

You can still steal the proverbal catalystic convertor even if its not your employer's truck.

I mean...

Strategy not yielding results as expected? Better change it up!

Honestly, good for them.

I didn't give up.

I pivoted to content creation.
