    Maybe. Depends on how functional you are overall. Turns out I can pass college courses, but not keep a job so well.

    I’m really good at getting high paying jobs, but my executive function is terrible. I can’t keep the jobs.

    People with good executive function tend to not be aware of it as a factor. For them “getting that job” is the big uncertain hurdle on their path to success.

    Not once in my upbringing all the way through college graduation did anyone talk about keeping jobs. It was all about getting the job. I’ve gotten some pretty amazing jobs … and lost them.
