I'm getting older, and less physically capable. I also have ADHD (though I'm don't remember if it's ever been diagnosed, but I have many of the symptoms). I'm looking for office work that does not rely heavily on the ability to multi-task. I've done software support in the past for a number of years, and while I loved the challenge and the ability to help customers, I got burned out by the quotas and micromanagement of the job. So, I'm familiar with life in the "cube farm". It just seems, scrolling through all the various office jobs available, many of them require multitasking. Are there any office jobs out there that I can just focus on one thing at a time?
I know that right now the job market is complete crap-shoot, at least here in United States. Keep in mind that although I've attempted college three separate times, I still don't have a degree, and I don't think I'll have the ability to get one before I expire.
Thanks for allowing me to vent?

I don't work in the office but from what I've seen, some are for multitasking. Good luck!

Senkusha, I feel for you! I hope the venting helped I've only ever worked factory. Only thing I can think of is your own business but that takes money to make money. While I've never been an office worker, I would have to go along with what Bob said. Most of them DO have many jobs they handle. Even a simple telemarketer has to handle numerous things. What about a Temp agency? I've seen those out there still. I know they were popular when I worked 2 decades ago. Then you can have steady employment (hopefully) & test the waters.

You'll want to seek out your local hiring agency and see what they can do for you, but I don't know if there is any job out there that isn't multitasking. Wish you luck.
