Being a Dyslexic Adult

There are a number of interesting studies that suggest that a starring number of sucessful entrparenuers are dyslexic. 

According to NY Times Article "The report, compiled by Julie Logan, a professor of entrepreneurship at the Cass Business School in London, found that more than a third of the entrepreneurs she had surveyed — 35 percent — identified themselves as dyslexic. The study also concluded that dyslexics were more likely than nondyslexics to delegate authority, to excel in oral communication and problem solving and were twice as likely to own two or more businesses." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/business/06dyslexia.html

The key to being a successful adult in your career is to find the right job - as not every job is a great fit.
