First of all, hello everyone! I found this forum yesterday and spent half the day reading it. It made me very happy to discover that there are ENFJ's in the world and that I'm one of them. I thought I was insane for acting the way I do. It's a big weight off my shoulders.
Now for my dilemma.
I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Well I do have ideas, but there are just too many to select one and be content. It seems many user's here also have this problem judging from what I've read.
I'm about to start my second year at college and I'm really having a hard time dedicating myself to one major.
I'm currently a computer science: game design major (UC Santa Cruz). I enjoy pair programming and interacting with others to solve problems, but when I have to program alone I feel like shooting myself. So I don't know if I want to stay with this major at all. I enjoy the creative prospects, but I despise the time I spend in solitary doing analytical thinking. My peers seem to love the alone time to make games. My dream career in this field would be as a producer or some kind of project overseer.
Then there is literature, which I've tested the waters for. Being an English teacher sounds fun. I love to read and write. I could see myself doing well at the job, and being relatively happy. However, I can't help but think that I won't be able to find a job in the economy and feel as though I could be missing out on helping the world in other ways.
I feel like one of these 'ways' to better the world would be to major in Health Science. I know I would be a wonderfully charismatic pediatric dentist or even a good health teacher. I even dream about caring for people abroad. Although, I feel like this route would drain some creativity out of me, but maybe that isn't true.
I'm just torn. My dream in life is to travel. As long as I can do that I think I'll be fulfilled.
I'm looking for suggestions. Maybe some of you are in the fields I'm looking at and can tell me what you think. Or if you're in a similar situation we can bond.
I apologize for such a personal request. I feel as though I'm bothering anyone that reads this. :blushed:
