When you’re figuring out what to do for work, I would suggest picking something that has the potential to continue igniting your curiosity and your interest for a long period of time.

It might not be the thing that you are most passionate about in the world, but something that has enough depth and enough facets that will keep you interested for a long time so that you don’t feel trapped just doing the one thing, over and over and over.

@hmm_cook i did and unfortunately it’s an industry full of narcisssistic assholes

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook This sounds like Tech. But I am at risk of projecting.

@elight @hmm_cook i’ve heard this happening in tech, but my personal hell has been in law for the past 20 years

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook Seems to follow: highly skilled white collar work seems to cultivate this sort of person.

@elight @hmm_cook for sure … it’s a lot of “how dare you know something i don’t”

perceived of as insubordinate and not just being a well rounded employee

@elight @hmm_cook power and control issues are very common with narcissists especially when dealing with #actuallyautistic people

it’s all about putting us in our place as they see it

New thought: so narc to Autist is a double dose
