Disability and IB

Hello everyone,

I have an unusual question: I’m currently a student at a target school and I have a disability which can make me tired more easily than regular people. For some time I’ve been trying to figure out what career path I want to take. I managed to get experience in S&T where hours are manageable even though the environment is very stressful but found that it wasn’t my thing, so I want to move to IB. I know however that hours can get really long and I know I won’t be able to handle leaving work everyday at 2 am, let alone pull all-nighters. Feedback from my past managers is that I’m much more productive than any other intern they’ve had due to my disability so I’m confident that I can handle the IB workload, just not the hours. I know there’s a culture of face time, but do you think that I could ever break into IB if I manage to show my skills while making clear that I can’t take the hours?

Sorry, this doesnt answer your question but dude don't torture yourself. There are plenty of career paths that lead to success/prestige/money/whatever, especially if you're coming from a top university. IB is notoriously shitty for hours, I can't even imagine what it would be like with your condition.
