Hey people, I have inattentive add and well im having trouble find my next career move. I've got it down to 2 choices..Mudjacking or Media arts production.

Mudjacking- I love this job. ( i don't really, its just compared to the rest of my jobs i've had in the past this one is great) Basically I stand around outside mixing mud or shoveling it. It great, you get to work out doors in a changing enviroment. The work is hella slack. (seriously I just stand there and daydream all day and get paid 14/hr for it.) So, If i stick with this job, my boss is going to sell me the business. Perks:very good money, work outdoors.
not perks: running a f***'n business with ADD??! is it possible?!?!?!?! (of course I'll just co-own the biz with someone, but seriously partially owning a biz with ADD??? is it possible?!?!1! even with meds?) and another thing..mudjacking is mind numbing bordem at times (like 80%). I love to learn and am pretty artistic, which brings me to my next choice.

I take meds, go to school and take media arts production. One of my dream jobs would be chilling in a writing room with a bunch of people, making the most retardedly awkward, lame, stupid, but very funny scripts for shows, cartoons, or movies. Hey if trey parker, matt stone, seth rogen can do it, i can attempt to do it too! :D
