Sponsor |  gingerwombat | Dec 11, 2006 2:56pm | Okay I am a 28 year old hardcore ENFP and I have always had issues committing to any one profession.
My BA. is in philosophy/history/art and then rather than specialize for grad studies, I did a law degree. But now the law life is boring to me.
I feel like I should have been a journalist or a documentary film maker or a zoologist or teacher....
Anyone else have these issues?
Everything appeals to me and as soon as I go in one direction, I feel like I am cheating myself out of cooler opportunities. I have a law degree and do cool human rights analysis internationally and now am envious of people who teach history and/or study marsupials? |

if I chose to blame it on the ADD, then I would probably bore of the marsupials eventually too ... If I should blame it on the ENFP, then my lifes calling is to continue to have hope that I will find my lifes calling ...
either way, Im blessed, and Im screwed .. |

But I also think I'd like journalism, because I could try and get into "writing" about music. I just want to be happy and do something I'm passionate about >_<; |

I think enfp's are the natural drifters of life. I imagine a world where we can live comfortably just by playing music, giving orations or teaching others how to do the same. We're ok, it's our world thats screwy ;) |

| | dbdbdb | May 6, 2007 1:02am | | I think that the best job for us is one which embraces our natural desire for change. I'm an ESL teacher and my classes change every 3 months. This allows me to stay in the same profession while also exploring different aspects of life. It can be a little challenging at times but better that than boredom. =) |

|  petersenbristow | Jan 28, 4:44pm | | What does the ESL stand for? I have just figured out that I'm ENFp, after thinking for ages I was ENTp. At the moment I'm not working at all really, but I have my own business in invite and stationery design, and I was design based until recently. I have just applied to do a CERT 3 in Children's Studies, so I can work in childcare and have also applied to do primary-year 12 teaching. Changing things up every three months sounds very inviting to me. I'd love to know more, I'm a little lost at the moment. |
