What can I study?

Posted: Mon, Jul 16 2012, 3:49 pm Post subject: what can I study?

I got tested for ADD but they decided I dont have ADD but they explained it in a different way that I cannot handle too much because my brain gets overloaded with stimuli and that's why I feel overwhelmed and disorganized. (that's as much as I understood) I don't really agree? I still think I suffer from ADD but that here is not my point.
My IQ is below average (I think in the high 80's) and I feel like my brain cannot absorb much information.

I so much want to go study something since my kids are in school all day but I cannot think of what would be good for my situation.
There are some things I love but I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the work.

I love computers, books, technology and gadgets. Dream jobs would be: working in a library, researching stuff online, or work in a type of the buzz store but most of these jobs are not available where I live...

Any suggestion which kind of courses would be suitable for someone like me?

Thanks

we have a babysitter like that. SWEET lady, in her late 30's, but really can't live alone, can't drive, low IQ, had a lot of trouble with school and can't handle a lot of information..... but she's terrific with our kids and a good babysitter. Are you good with children?

You might be a good office assistant for a low stress kind of office where you'd have one task at a time.

If you're good researching online you might be good at ebaying. I have a friend who did, for a while have a job researching online for others-- the pay wasn't good though.

I'm in direct sales and network marketing--- not sure whether that might be up your alley or not. You mentioned computers-- perhaps one of my companies where the work is almost 100% online and on the phone and you wouldn't need to do in person appointments. If so, I recruit for a couple of different companies and would be happy to talk to you.
