What job do you do and why do you love it?

Hi everyone, 

I've been off work for a while due to burnout and family issues, and now it's time to go back to the treadmill. I'm considering changing my career path and looking for ideas. 

So, I wanted to ask to those of you who are lucky enough to enjoy their job: what do you do, and why do you love it? It would be great to get a few examples of what can work for neurodivergent people, in case anything resonates with me. 

Thanks!

  • I am an employment specialist, so I help people with disabilities of all kinds find employment. It can be really stressful (sometimes there is pressure to get jobs quickly and I am at the mercy of the job market just like everybody else), but it can also be very rewarding. Finding the right fit for someone always feels really awesome.

    I think what really makes the difference in making this job enjoyable is that I am working with a great team supporting me. I trust that my immediate supervisor has my best interests in mind. I’m not so sure about my company’s overall leadership, but at least the team immediately around my position are full of people I can trust to help me when I am facing a difficult situation.
