In reply to What Jobs do BiPolar's do well in?, posted by EtktRide on April 23, 2004, at 20:57:38
there are software companies in the bay area (CA) that just love hiring people with bipolar disorder- especially the hypomanic phase when some people are driven to work 24 hours/day. personally I had to leave my work as a scientist and go on disability because of my (then) rapid cycling. my pdoc has suggested jobs that involve working from home and making your own hours- consulting, that type of thing. I also agree that many of us go into the mental health field once we are better just to give back.
best of luck, judy
