I'd like to find a job that doesn't make me constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed and fatigued, but is also intellectually challenging. I absolutely love learning. Has anyone found a role that works for them?
had many jobs
cleaner
research scientist
telesales and many odd jobs
went through some employment schemes
now I am a Software Tester ( 15 years ) of Covid related software which at the moment is a one big continuous rush of projects one after another
Shop supervisor on furlough now.
Your question is very open ended - are you arty or maths & science loving or a loner or need people around you? Also, what qualifications have you collected or what are you aiming for?

The Temple Grandin article is absolutely correct - but it takes a very honest person to do some deep self-analysis to be honest with your strengths and weaknesses - many people delude themselves with 'dream' careers.
BTW - I'm a rocket-scientist and nuclear physicist / CEng. Think Mr Data with a pulse.
I am a social worker. As much as I enjoy it I'm feeling that it is incompatible with me. The unpredictability makes me extremely anxious alongside my need to know exactly what I'm doing.
So yeah, don't become a social worker.
Oh great thanks!
I work as a technician, I need quite a wide range of knowledge and there is quite a lot of variety in the job.
