job

I know this question gets asked a lot for different types but there is always new experiences to learn from. Would be good to hear the pros and cons and how long you had the job/business for? Do you still do it or if not, why not? Bye for now

(an essay on something I've been thinking about lately) INFPs don’t make very much money. A number of MBTI-And-Income surveys have us ranking dead last among the 16 types, this one from Business Insider has us ranking a bit higher, 4th from the bottom, but still low and also 4th from the...

Hi everyone. I've not been on here for a while but I find myself in need of some advice from fellow INFPs. I am not enjoying my job. At all. It probably isn't the best job for an INFP as it involves a lot of motivation, networking, and presenting. I thought it was something I would just get...

Fellow INFJ's, I'm curious: Where do you work? Why did you choose this career path? Currently, I'm only a high school senior and am restricted to retail jobs (which I LOATHE :mad-new:). Once I graduate, I will be attending college to double major in public health and psychology :smile-new: I...

I'm sure threads like this have appeared before but I didn't see any on the stickies and contrary to what my account says I'm a very old PersonalityCafe user. I lost my old account (trying to get it back) due to my email being hacked but my point is most of you I talk to were not the crew in...

What kind of education/career paths have you been drawn towards or tried? So far I've dabbled in Psychology, English Literature, Philosophy, Graphic Design/Audio-Visual arts. I am currently very interested in Biomedical Sciences and like to idea of helping people through science, but I'm not...

Hello everyone. I am here today because I am a 27 year old INTJ who currently works as a youth worker. I've known I was an INTJ for awhile now and have had no complaints with it, but I have always found it strange that I ended up in this kind of work instead of the ones that are more...

Recently it looks like a job (or a task) is not really about getting things done but just to lubricate some social gears or something. I mean, more than often you have these human interactions when you see things like 'I call you for you to call that other person to call one more to do the thing...

I know that I am far from alone and that the system is cancer but having to put up with discrimination on the job is just pushing it too far. Today that is exactly what I experienced by a manager who has it out for me and a older coworker who decided to stab me in the back for a mistake that he...

Hey dear community! Tomorrow I will have my first day of working after a 17 day vacation and I am scared for it. I am depressed and anxious (I don't know if that's imprortant for this). The thing is, I work in a very toxic environment there, people put so much pressure on you and treat you to...

Public school, private school, charter school, religious school, higher education at college, childhood education, etc. ... Do teachers engage in a mediocre profession? You can argue what mediocre means in the comments, but I'll leave the poll options at yes and no. Some of you hate/hated...

This article was written by a Millennial-aged electrician from Canada using the pseudonym "Billy Chubbs", and was originally published by the website Return Of Kings on February 18, 2014. This article was integral to my current career path and I post it on Personality Cafe in the hopes that...

The title is pretty self-explanatory. Let the rest of the world know what the real dream jobs of ENFJ's are. Most websites say that ENFJ's are most compatible with jobs that require leadership skills or humanitarian skills, what are your thoughts? Personally, I see myself working in the...

Hi all, I asked this question in the INFP thread back when I thought I was one, and now I would like to ask the INFJs out there the following: 1) What is your current profession and/or what are you studying? 2) How and why did you choose this particular career path? 3) Do you enjoy what you do...

Hi! In this thread I would like to talk about art an creative careers, and how your type influences in it. In my case, I'm a very arty person. I love music, illustration, graphic design, cinema, writing, photography, video games... I love arty creations in general, and I would love to use my...

I am 38 years old, after 7 years of being a software developer, a change was imminent I felt; I wasn't really keen on picking up on new stuff anymore after the 4th - 5th year into the developer's job (it can be fatal as a developer). I then considered my options and was convinced that project...

Hello! I am 18 and currently about to enter my third academic year at a university. My major is English and, like most INFJs and many English majors, I keep flip-flopping on what I would like to pursue career-wise. Back in my seventh grade civics class-- which was taught by a spunky older...

Hi! I'm thinking about changing careers at some point in the near future. Personally, the most important thing for me - and possibly you guys too, since you're INFJs - is that there is a passion for the job role. Which brings me on to my question! What are you guys doing as a career and do you...

Do you sometimes daydream about being self employed? Or what kind of business would sort of reflect your essence - like if you were a business what would you be?

As an ENTP, I can't stand to spend the time to deeply master any one thing. Some recent interview experiences make me feel like this is a flaw. I was thinking about the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" but later learned that I've been misusing it. The original quote is: Jack...
