I'm asking out of curiosity mostly.

Is anyone here into digital marketing? That's what I'm studying for right now.

Software engineer. I swear half of us are on the spectrum.

Same. And, to be fair, it's a fairly well-paying field that requires some amount of specialized knowledge, but many applications of that knowledge are usually pretty easy to find with a bit of Google know-how, and use of Google as a resource is not only acceptable, but expected. I feel like that meshes relatively well with how ADHD brains work.

I used to do a bit of Help Desk in IT, and one of the "open" secrets of that field (and later I learned that it's for all tech fields,) was that a lot of the job was knowing how to find the solution online. Next, was how the heck you install/apply it.

Nice. What software do you specialize in?

Financial / Superannuation (or "401K" as the Americans call it).
