Hi there,

I am enrolled into Western University for the post grad diploma in OHS management but I would rather end up in an industry that focuses more on the environmental side of things rather than construction and oil and gas, for example, the healthcare industry. How do I go about obtaining the E side, is there any certificates I should take? I noticed some job postings in B.C did not require any formal education, some just said "will train". Also, how do people in health and safety end up in emergency management/response positions? I only have a B.A. Also, wondering if anyone working in Health & Safety has ADHD and how do you find it? Is it a good fit? Does the variety of things to do everyday and from day to day help from feeling "bored"? Not asking for accomodations so please be nice, just curious if anyone can speak to their experience!

Thanks for any advice!

i everyone,

I am a 26 year old with a B.A in humanities and trying to figure out what career path to take. I have accepted the fact that I likely will not find a job I am ever deeply passionate about, and fun and life will happen outside of work! I just need to find something I don't **hate** and does not compromise my morals.

I am trying to look into careers that offer flexibility, variety of tasks, and do not require sitting at a desk 8 hours a day. Mentally stimulating + chaotic/slightly high pressure would be good also, as I find my brain easily goes into do not disturb mode when there is not little fires everywhere to put out. In some ways I feel that I thrive in the chaos, with many things going on. Based on my background and the hope to enter the career force and have a real "adult job" as quickly as possible, I am currently trying to decide between doing a diploma in Health and Safety or Supply Chain management.

I really like organizing and planning things, and am currently registered for a post grad diploma in health and safety mangement next year, since I have researched the day to day is varied and there's many opportunities to switch between industries (BUT eventually i would like to become env public health inspector in canada but due to financial reasons its currently not feasible - public health inspector would be the ultimate goal) but im wondering if anyone has worked in either of these fields or has any suggestions for other careers that are good for adhders like me? if you worked in these fields do you enjoy it?

thanks for reading!!
