> I could readily absorb the material but I was terribly antagonistic towards teachers who generally desire a sense of authority in their class rooms. I also as an adult have been diagnosed with ADHD, which to me at least explains a good portion of why I struggled in school. I never did my homework
I'd guess this is the root of your problem. People don't want to hire those that are terribly antagonistic towards authority figures (a.k.a their boss) and don't do their homework (a.k.a work).
- barrenflats 7y agoBeing antagonistic to authority is something I left behind in my teenage years. I’ve learned a lot about social grace since then, to the point that I consider it a strong point. Also, homework (as a rather pointless forced learning aid) is so unlike working given my ADHD it’s ridiculous. Moreover, as I’ve since been diagnosed with ADHD and given the ability to medicate and be cognizant of this weakness it isn’t the issue it was when I was a teen in college. At this point in my life I have a body of accomplishments from business, as alluded to in earlier paragraphs. Really though, how would an employer know either of these things; it’s not like I‘d put them on a resume or a cover letter. I added it only to give context to why going to college didn’t work out for me at the time, not to describe why I think I have trouble finding a job I enjoy. I’m confused by the unconstructive nature of this comment, it seems purposefully derisive.
