Ive had a total of 10 job in my life, there was this 1 job that i kept for 2 years. But left due to personal problems, i seem to get jobs but i cant keep them because of my ADD, i recently have taken medication. I have switched from straterra to concerta. The concerta is working and im not as depressed much.

Before i made the switch from concerta i worked at a banking job, they give training based class and i was not able to do it because of my learning disability.

Jobs in the past i was in able to do because of my comprehension level and understanding that i cant do a job.
So has any of you had a problem like this? And how are you able to work with your ADD learning disability?

I worked at a real estate company a few years ago and it required that I learned the system database language. Problem was I had absolutely zero interest in learning the language (or real estate for that matter) so naturally I'd space out for hours on end when she was giving us tutorials on how to use it. I managed to get through the job until I quit for school but I had to learn most of the stuff on my own time. I space out when I'm listening to other people talk about something boring, so reading or physically doing the task helps me learn much more efficiently.

My son also has ADD and he often faces such situations.
