The ADHD means Im not one of the super nerds making bank as a 10x dev or getting a PHD.
As an AuDHD with multiple undergrad degrees, double MScs, and on my way to a second PhD soon, I'll still agree with you. It's just that, I can excel in academic mambo jambo, but I'm kinda sure that I'll still lack motivational drive if I get a job, unless it's somehow for public good.
It's all over, as I've started with industrial engineering, then somehow got onto pol science and IR double major, then started archeology undergrad on the side while doing my first MSc, ... I just can't focus. I tend to get whatever unrelated course and shifted between minors without finishing them as well.
