Hi Friends,

I'm BP1 and have been a part of this community for several years -- been a while since I've posted. I want to learn about what people with our condition(s) do for work. I'm at (yet another) crossroads in my career, and this time I feel like I'm open to far more potential jobs than in years past.

I've been in sales since I graduated from college -- B2B, B2C, and most recently, I've raised capital for private companies and partnerships as a consultant. I would NOT recommend this line of work.

I've always been entrepreneurial and chosen paths less traveled. I've liked being able to contribute to the growth of an organization and feeling heard amongst decision makers. Recently, I've been burnt out and have been questioning whether I'm in the right field all together.

In the past I've joked about "dropping it all" and becoming a house painter lol. These days, I'd say I'm closer to actually acting on that than ever before. So what do y'all do for work? Has anyone found a long-lasting career in something that isn't soul sucking? Obviously work is an unavoidable part of life, and no job is perfect. But I'd love to hear your stories and suggestions.
