I recently found after a lot difficults this job and I choosed my sector: supply chain management, SCM.
Sounds weird but I'm perfect.
I love numbers, I love just in time, I feel fun remembering how is working what... literally is cool.
I just love wondering who do something and where is the stock and watching a map.
That's the best thing had happened to me.
I'm analytic, I'm precise, I'm tidy, I'm pragmatic, I'm also hyper focused... I'm perfect.
Plus I do love travel, meet foreign people without costantly face to face, love solving puzzles.
Love I.T, love tecnology, love how stuffs are produced, love know the laws, love see companies, love see the costs and the timing.
And yes I'm ASD, this job looks completely distant from ASD but I damn love it.
But I'm luck: my mom and my aut are both in administration... so literally I grew up knowing about.
Yes, I know, I'm choosing to work like a sheep with wolves.

To me it sounds as if you are doing something you love, that is all that matters I think. I'm sort of jealous, I wish I could get paid to travel the world and study the patterns I love.

Mine was fishing, although I would have loved working as a deckhand on one of the global merchant ships. The ocean always soothes my mind for some reason and the life was always structured and simple. With good food.

Why be jealous? I'm just aware I need to learn how to not get triggered... but happens to a sheep to grow with wolves.
You can do whatever you want... near my home a man who work as librarian is an alpinist who go in Himalaya for helping the population.

Have you actually found employment in this line of work or have you simply chosen to pursue it?

Sorry, not jealous in a bad way, a very happy for you wish I could find something that makes me feel that happy feel

Yes, I worked on various fishing vessels in the Bering Sea and north Pacific for over 12 years. I had enough documented sea time to get an unlimited able-bodied seaman card, which would have allowed me to work on almost any ship in the world. Unfortunately that part didn't work out, an ex threw away all those important documents which couldn't be replaced so that dream didn't come to reality.

I will never be able to understand people like your ex.

I used to work in a noisy, fast paced recycling centre. But I got made 'quality controller' and was put in charge of my own station. I got it under control and running how I wanted. There was some friction with another work-station, because we shared a machine. When one was using it, the other couldn't. But I eventually took over their station and ran both. Extra work, but ran smoothly. Eventually I took over the whole floor as a one-man operation. Some days I'd skip designated breaks just to keep up. I hated the stress at the time. Now I look back at it fondly. One of the few jobs where I was in control and everything ran smoothly.
