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

NAS96243

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 spend 40+ years  being a software engineer. It led to travelling the world, doing all manner of different types of jobs and one big discovery. I liked working in the games industry. I've had two jobs in games and loved it.

    Yeah, it seems working in software is a favourite among autistic people. I used to work in IT and I often had to create simple scripts to automate some tasks, which I actually liked. But I'm definitely not gifted with a massive talent for coding. In fact, if you could see some of those scripts, you would probably start throwing things at me Joy
