madisgram has much advice I would want to say...

Your question regarding a job/career...stuck for me...

You are at the beginning so those areas you enjoy would be the areas I would try to learn most about.

I will tell you that you can be very successful in spite of having bipolar symptoms. It is true that the key is you in the equation. I'm just over double your age...I have a successful career as a senior property manager...hopefully to make assistant director of property managment (at least it feels like I'm being groomed that direction). I have been successful in school, starting positions, and promotions. I think we are all different, and these statements are not to brag. I want to give one example and give you hope that a dx of bipolar does not mean you won't enjoy a job/career...it can be at any level or anything...do what you enjoy...do what is just enough of a challenge that you are not overstressed...My position affords me the ability (salaried) to not punch a clock which really is essential for me...I guess I'm rambling...

knowing now maybe helpful...I didn't have a dx until I was 35 ish...so much more makes sense...I guess what I'm trying to say is don't let it hold you back
