A familiar refrain. "If you're so smart, how come you're not rich?"

It's because I have a strong sense of justice and I don't like exploiting people, in contrast to the rich

Oh and also because meritocracy is a lie

I got to go to a “gifted and talented” program in elementary, and I’m convinced the teachers manipulated the test results or whatever got me into it just to get me out of their hair once in a while

my school called it talented and gifted, or TAG. GAT sounds way cooler

Probably won't be a millionaire but you can still be lots of things.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 days ago

Lots of things, so many things, including

  • homeless
  • institutionalized
  • dead

Or self-employed, homeowner and have a 4 years wage in savings.

ADHD is a speed bump, not a brick wall.
