I would say that not being able to hold down a job renders your ADD pretty severe. Perhaps you need to find a line of work that uses your ADD. Creative, think-on-your-feet jobs seems to work the best - the film business, for example, is full of ADDers. ADDers have a capacity for hyperfocusing that can offset the distractiblity. Routine and boredom are the killers, at least for me.
