Marketing a skill that's good for learning random skills is a bit harder though, depending on where your main interests lay. If you know a little bit about everything in technology, maybe that can work.

However, management in retail is where my marketable skillset is. Because I know a good amount of every department, I will always be that call in that can do any position, instead of being considered for a higher position in one department. I've done management duties for customer service, frozen dairy, general merchandise, paints, electronics, photo, etc for eleven years. I never get a higher position when it opens because there's always someone more specialized in that position.

Don't get me wrong. I don't completely disagree with you. I have crazy good problem solving skills. I've come to love my ADHD, having gone completely unmedicated for it all my life (my father wouldn't approve Ritalin when I was diagnosed as a kid and they needed both parent's consent). I just wish I could do more than a little bit of everything sometimes.
