I don't like either of the career choices, it doesn't sound ambitious enough nor challenging. Maybe psychology and going into research... What would be your advice for ENFJ with more high-end, modern careers? Like solutions architect? CTO? Scientist?
My advice for adolescence ENFJs: Try any form of teaching or counseling. We have one purpose and one purpose only as ENFJs. And that is: To foresee great potentials and help them to succeed at whatever is, they are trying to achieve. We're natural born leaders and givers. We're one of the most persuasive personality from the 16 personalities.
That is so true but allow me to add one more : being not too hard on ourselves and apreciate our effort in helping others by helping and empowering and developing ourselves
As 46 yr old ENFJ, with quite a bit of real life experience to pull from, I respectfully disagree with the advice that we should "be around people" in our professional life. The only way to realistically achieve the kind of autonomy, focus & flexibility we crave in our professional life is to work alone or amongst a small group. Imo, it's extremely important that we separate our professional life from our need to foster deep, meaningful, harmonious relationships with others. It's much more realistic & rewarding if we fulfill that need through participating in group focused hobbies & other personal life pursuits, rather than attempting to fulfill that need through our professional life. Why? Bc.. #1 we have the tendency to, inadvertently, go above & beyond, to out perform & show up our co-workers/colleagues, which inevitably leads to resentment, jealously & all manner of unnecessary drama. #2 it's nearly impossible to achieve the kind of autonomy, focus and, most importantly, flexibility that we need in order to fulfill our potential within an overpopulated work environment. #3 we're hardwired to help others, to form & foster deep, harmonious relationships. And it's nearly impossible for us to resist the urge to drop everything we're doing to help others, to disregard our own responsibilities, well being & long term success in exchange for others, to get distracted & caught up in the personal crisis of others!! ENFJ is synonymous with martyrdom!! My advice is get a hobby, host dinner parties or BBQ's, volunteer, etc... Whatever you gotta do to fulfill the people person side of you, do it separate from your professional life!!! That said, all the professions listed are dead on. I love politics, journalism & writing. I love art & music. I love designing & building things. I love mentoring & teaching. I love science & psychology. I love nature & adventure. I love individualistic sports.
As an 36 years old and 7 years of state which is in schols work experience i agree 100% on you. Because of that im focusing on the jobs that nightwatch(which im doin right now but not forever) driver, trading, massage therapist. Thanks for your insight. So helpful instead of so many videos. In addition to that you described enfjs something like sigma person. Any idea?
Hmm… you’ve confirmed a piece of the proverbial puzzle I’ve been battling with for a very long time. Over-delivering in my job and business while working with people has become a big problem. For me, it’s not martyrdom - I genuinely want to lift everyone up equally without the fanfare but I inevitably underestimate other’s ambitions only to be thrown under the bus. Everything you mentioned is a heck yes for me!
this is spot on. I'm a 53 year old ENFJ and experienced the pitfalls you mention (and then some) first hand leading to a massive ass depression/burn-out that has incapacitated me for several years. I've made the enormous mistake of making my job my life and making my colleagues my 'people'. 'being around people' is extremely dangerous in my experience as an ENFJ because it's way too easy to be around the wrong people for us (I'm projecting my experience, I know, but I doubt I'm the only one facing this potential danger). Our tendency, need and drive to help others almost automatically attracts the needy, the opportunists, the narcissist and so on. I think a much needed skill to learn for ENFJ's is how to recognize healthy requests for help, how to provide help in a healthy way (as in wait till they ask for it lol ), how to identify their own needs and see themselves as part of the people they need to help/serve and how to communicate their needs to others and how to own their right to set boundaries and have their own needs met.
I totally get this. I too am an ENFJ and loved working in a support position in high (Aerospace Tech), FFRDC, (federally funded Research and Development) Corp., very fascinating work and a lot of different ppl types.... my cousin flew two types of air “hardware” for years and father was an Air Traffic controller. Dynamic stuff.
I am en ENFJ and somehow had the bad idea to become a tax clerk... the idea to work for the state and nevery get unemployed was attractive at the first time. But on the long run a very bad idea I tell you. I only have to do with numbers and figures all the day and have to apply very complex tax laws. Communication and creativeness tends nearly to null. Having a familiy makes things even more complicated. Changing everything is rather risky... My dream is to make achieve a master degree and somehow become a teacher... IT IS SO IMPORTANT to know yourself! The money is not worth it, please do what you love and forget the money!
Great video! I'm an ENFJ, and I'm in school currently for Physical Therapy. I can't see myself doing anything else. You're correct when you say we could fall in love with the idea of a career, but then all kinds of conflict get involved in the work environment. In the future, I won't tolerate being in a toxic work environment where there's no teamwork or collaborative care for my future patients.
THIS IS SO FREAKING ACCURATE I CANT 😩😩 I am studying to become a special education teacher, but currently work at a job at university where I do design, reading and writing.
@@roastme2079 I like this idea - Director/Producer might be a good path for me but I'm worried that I'll need to go back to school for this. I'm currently in Project Management, so I feel like I have the right soft skills necessary for this but that someone might not give me a chance to get experience on set. Maybe volunteer opportunities would help with that?
@@roastme2079 thank you for the detailed breakdown! I'm sure it will be helpful for many people, not just myself! :) I live in the CA Bay Area. Not sure what opps there are for Extras, but I can look into it. I wonder if there's even much going on atm because of Covid. Thanks for the tip! If anything I think it'd be a fun hobby to be an extra on a set even if once or twice. I can tell pretty quickly from observation if I will end up liking a career path, so I definitely like that idea more than a degree because I could tell first hand if I'd actually enjoy it without putting too many hours in to figure it out. Thanks a lot!
@@roastme2079 such an ENFJ explanation lol I love it. I was a background actor in Los Angeles for a year and really liked it. But after watching directors do their thing I’m really interested in that as well as producing. Not creative enough to write or act.
@@vhiarose Director could actually be perfect, as ENFJ have the creative flair, convey the feelings well and have the organizational talent. In addition, we are goal-oriented, provide a good climate on the set and always have the vision of the film in mind. Unfortunately, the film world in particular is ego-driven and it is possible to break from it. It's a bit like politics. We'd make the world a better place, but the people around us are killing us.... lol your post is 2 years old. May I ask how things went for you?
I'm an ENFJ. This was super accurate! I think ENFJs are great storyteller too! Being persuasive make them excell in bringing people together and getting their goals achieved! I'm diving into public relations as my career choice and the fact that you mentioned PR at the very beginning shooked me haha For the most part, I enjoy enhancing my PR skills and that's what matters! This really helps and is so true haha
Being an enfj I’ve become a swim instructor. Since doing so, I’ve never been the strongest swimmer myself. However I notice significant growth in my students. I am constantly getting feedback from my students parents in the growth of my students. They explain to me how they have grown in many ways of their swimming. Me hearing this I think to myself I’m not doing a good enough jobs but the parents assure me otherwise. My co-workers as well tell me im doing a phenomenal job. This line of work is perfect for me, it is rewarding because I see growth and development in my students and it’s rewarding because I see them achieve their goals in becoming stronger swimmers. Im always getting new students and trying different ways of teaching them and doin so in the most efficient way. Work never gets old for me and working with children is the best thing in the world since they are the future. I couldn’t be more grateful for the work I do and the opportunities I have to shape the future generations.
Wow. I think I just realized something... I am an ENFJ and have been through different carreers in life, but after I completed my PhD, I tried staying on research, but it just didn't really flow... For a couple of years I had been looking for a position, to no success, it was hard. I then went back to teaching, which is something I love doing (and now at universities 🙂), and everything seems to be coming together... And I have just realized it might have to do with the fact that I am an ENFJ... Thank you so much for your insights ✨
Hey there! Adolescent ENFJ here, can you give me some more information about your work experience as a teacher and what did you do your PhD on! Any other general advice is also deeply appreciated as I'm at the crossroads of choosing my career path, Thank You.
@@ikrueate Hello my friend, thank you for reaching out. Concerning my work experience, I was an English teacher during my early and mid-20s, where I acquired "core" experience in the classroom. At the time, I was also graduating in Geography and then did my masters. After that, I went to work on a big multinational company (a NOKIA subsidiary), then I returned to university for my PhD - I studied air pollution, more specifically, the relationship between tropospheric ozone and land use in the greater São Paulo area. After that, I tried to pursue a post-doctorate and get research grants etc., but things were not really lining up. Then I found out I was an extroverted feeling type (we often mistype ourselves as introverts...) and remembered my good old days as an English teacher and decided that I should pursue being a lecturer, to focus on teaching at the universities instead of doing research, and since I ma de that decision, things have been flowing so much better. That was in the beggining of this year and I have already had a couple of invitations for teaching at universities and next year there's something great coming up as well! If I had to give you advice, I'd say to try to focus on something you have a talent for. Following only your passion can be tricky sometimes, but doing things only for money will leave us soulless... so finding something you are talented in doing (and that the world needs!) will open many opportunities for you to improve yourself and the world around you, and to open up more opportunities to find the best carreer where you can align your talents, get decent money and feel good about what you do! Don't worry about making a 'final' choice, you will have plenty of time to think about what you really want to do in life and be able to change your direction if you feel like it. If you identify yourself as an ENFJ, I'd suggest you try to look for positions where you can work in collaboration with others, a more stable environment and opportunities to improve yourself! But don't limit yourself based on personality type - there are many out there who defy the MBTI stereotype. What carreer are you more likely to follow? What subjects do you like, what do you like doing and what are you good at? PS: I have recently done an interview with an MBTI professional and it seems I am a mistyped ESFJ lol but still, an extroverted feeler anyway :)
@@johnny_roots Hey there, you have no idea how grateful I'm on getting insights from someone who's "already been there done that". I don't mean to be rude or anything but hearing your story just triggered my insecurities or whatever it's that I'm escaping from. To answer the question of, What I'm talented in or would likely want to pursue is the dilemma. Whatever you said about getting decent money or validation of some sort( I mean a little fame, lol) at the same time not selling my soul is the dream. But the dillema is my "Go Getter" attitude. My talent is I can learn new things quickly and adapt. While that sounds good on paper, compile that with an overthinking mentality and a bit of escapism. The answer that pops up in my mind is, "I'm talented at everything, I can excel at whatever the future has to offer me" That sounds good on text but, it doesn't come from the place of acceptance and confidence, rather it comes from my escapism and fear. And my major flaw that is "people pleasing". My whole life, I have been somehow strived to deliver the best to the people around me. My parents (I'm Indian, Asian parents like grades, LoL), well to somehow please them I studied to ace every tests. But it was still full-filling for me as I displayed responsibility and diligence in the process To my friends, they don't know a guy who parties and has fun as much as I do and gets all the grades. I was proud of myself when I realised I was a master in balancing different parts of life. But apart from all the good stuff, I feel like none of the stuff I accomplished was because I liked it, and you know why I can only see that now, lol cuz my perfect balanced equilibrium was broken when pandemic broke. I can't see my friends, hence I can't put up a positive attitude infront of them to feel valued, Grades relatively goes down in online classes, hence no validation from that, ergo I have no idea what I am "likely to pursue".😂 If you still think I can narrow down stuff, these are some of the things I can do: 1. I have been doing youtube for a few years, have a few 100 subs, but I privated all the vids cuz this was the closest self destructive activity that wouldn't physically harm me, I could do, I was just experimenting stuff, LoL. 2. Apart from RU-vid, and influencing people and stuff, it was possible because I also have a few years experience in Video Editing. 3. I can do theoritical stuff like philosophy and physics. Stoicism is something around my corner. 4. Have a refined taste of fashion and could do some modeling, humble enough to thrive in Hollywood. 5. Adrenaline pumping activities, like I can play soccer well, also I do some competitive gaming. 6. Anything that involves repetitive practice like Dancing, LoL I can do the moonwalk! 7. You name it, I can do it with some time. (except music composing or singing LoL, 0 music ability 😂.) And about the MBTI test, I took it 5 times, got the ENFJ, also now have the ability to manipulate the test results LoL, so I think I'm fine as an ENFJ. But I'm not surprised if some of my characteristics don't fit here because I know these results aren't absolute. And lastly, you were definitely mistyped cuz an ENFJ with a strong "intuition" would never say there was time to change directions later, we want it done, sealed and shipped right now.😂
I liked your video! I am an ENFJ and I think you may add engineering to those jobs as well! Being an engineer needs to be creating and designing new things which is ENFJ like to do. I agree with you ENFJ can be in different kind of fields. Actually I think ENFJ can focusing on different fields at the same time, like being engineer and also play music or doing business at the same time! Because ENFJ love to know everything and never get tired from learning new things. Hope I were able to add some good points for people they like to know more about ENFJs!
ENFJ engineer here. I've found that my drawback is my lack of attention to detail. I had to teach myself this. On the other hand a strong point is that by my tending to focus on the bigger picture I've managed to give some quite out of the box solutions that worked.
Yes that's true. Im an ENFJ A and my friend in grade 12 was an ENFJ T. She took engineering and I took Fine Arts. Based on my observation we're both passionate at what we do and I am really happy about that😊
I’m an ENFJ-T, social worker by profession so strongly values based profession. I’m the team manager now in my role and love that the job allows me to help my team become the best at who they are as professionals and we are a team focused on always improving our practice.
This is freaky. I’m a corporate trainer that left my job because of my working environment. It was negative, lots nepotism, and no reward for work. Now, I’m looking into creative space. I start making zoom backgrounds as a creative outlet, and going back to school for fashion media. I’m amazed on how accurate this video is.
Just found out I'm ENFJ-T and I've always been in sales (actually have disliked most of it lol) but I've always aspired to HELPING people and didnt know why!! I've always thought it would be fun to be a sales trainer but I'm not a strong sales person, I just have a strong relationship building side and I think that's why I've made it in sales so long. Thank you for your video, I shted it with my sister & brother who are enfp'
I'm ENFJ-T as well, and I've thought about going into Sales too, but I know it can be cut-throat. I like helping people too, but I don't know if I'd enjoy it as much as I think I would. Thinking of going into Marketing/Comms instead. PS. My sisters are both ENFP.
This was on point! I'm in the process of looking at various jobs. I grew up a military brat and actually joined the Air Force as an Officer. I enjoyed leading others and helping others 1-on-1. I did not enjoy the rigidity and bureaucracy. Now that I'm out, it's been a struggle to find what I truly love. Appreciate this eye-opening video!
Try any form of teaching or counseling. We have one purpose and one purpose only as ENFJs. And that is: To foresee great potentials and help them to succeed at whatever is, they are trying to achieve. We're natural born leaders and givers.
“When they want to be” 😂. Yep! You’re right on the money: positive environment, know the bigger picture, have autonomy to succeed, helping others be successful ....! This ENFJ says “good job”. I’m 38 and just switched from a career in ministry to fitness. Both all about helping people.
Wow. Spot on. I’m a change management consultant and uni prof now, but I’ve also been a journalist, a corporate trainer, and a NGO project leader! Love jobs that give me some autonomy to get things done as I see fit, whilst collaborating on the “bigger picture,” and the chance to constantly learn new things and use my insights about people.
@@AntoinetteSarpong It sounds like a dream job for an ENFJ... lol... A Happiness Manager combines modern leadership practices with elements of Feelgood Management. He has tools to positively influence his own well-being and that of his environment and supports his team in achieving a higher level of happiness and performance.
Hahaha, I love how its always "Accountant" that ENFJ's shouldn't be doing. I'm an ENFJ and a CPA. As ENFJ's we love challenges, and what better challenge than doing something that everyone says you shouldn't do. Regardless of your career path, your ENFJ personality will come out and shine!!
I’m a registered mental health nurse, I have trained in counselling and I’m half way through my formal teaching qualifications which I do along with my current job. I’m yet to really figure out what I want to do career wise. As you can imagine, working environments are not the best in the health care field, so moral is low. I’m constantly reflecting and evaluating. People speak to me for help and guidance, but I struggle to find an individual that can help guide me. Never the less, I count my blessings! I meet some really interesting people in my work and I got secured pay so I’m going to continue my journey 🙂 cool video
My first career choice in college was a journalist, but felt God’s calling to ministry. I compromised and went counselor. I figured I could work in a church to that capacity. Now looking back I wish I would have committed to journalist or minister. I’m an ENFJ-A and an Uber driver. I don’t think I could have handled the weight of peoples problems because of my empathy. Love this video and the insight it brought.
Yes, you are right about environment! I am an ENFJ and I am a realtor, sell Young Living Oils,previously I have worked as assistant to business manager and controller at a law office, also have been bookkeeper, legal secretary and receptionist. Also, I love music and years ago was a music education/voice and piano major. I sang a lot growing up and as a young adult. I have a degree in education. Your information and advice seemed right on point! Thank you for sharing.
Every occupation you mentioned I have had to some degree, writer, newspaper reporter, trainer, seminar leader ….. working with special needs community .... Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Great job. Thanks
Awesome stuff man, thanks. I have struggled through many jobs always finding hard to work for a corporate company. In between I tried a few businesses and now have finally gotten to a point of settling down in the past 10 years. I am 46 years old and became a home inspector 8 years back. I love consulting with family wanting to buy homes and advising them once I have conducted the inspection. I used to hate the report writing but have now become more creative and produce a ‘work of art’ type of report where I know my client get way more then they paid for. I charge a bit more but my clients are willing to pay for the extra detail and advice. Started another business on the side in an advisory capacity for the construction industry and love it. Learning allot about being an ENFJ. Thanks for the great content
This was great. Thank you! I totally agree with what you said about not listening to others projecting, because we can be chameleons and potentially easily influenced by these suggestions if we don't know ourselves well yet (like I was in my early 20s). I also think that suggesting a support roles is also excellent advice. I'm good at sales... but I definitely find myself to be a better sales manager. Or... at least I'm also good at management... but more importantly, I enjoy it more. I'm that 30 something that is looking to change my career and found this to be helpful. Thanks!
V Davies I actually currently co-own a restaurant with my husband and am also the executive director of a professional orchestra in my town. Although I do well at both... My experience has really allowed me to not only discover what skills I’m best at, but what I also enjoy the most. For the longest time when I was younger I thought I would get into accounting because I’m good at it.... I just don’t love it. I felt like people projected it on to me because I’m good at math. Owning a business allowed me to dip my toes in a little bit of everything and I recognized very quickly that I would HATE being chained to a desk punching numbers 40 hours a week. I’m in the process of going back to school to get my MBA this fall and plan to eventually leave the restaurant and start my own career path in something more focused and specialized. The two things I would like to pursue are either something in HR or in Communications/Marketing/PR. I am good at and truly enjoy both job types. I would like to continue my work with the orchestra though on the side. What do you do?
Yep, very accurate for me too, an ENFJ. I know exactly what I want to do, It´s just hard to find it! I have a master in Agricultural science and have been working as an advisor (loved it except for the Environment). Im studying to become a teacher. Im a Health coach. Have been a sports trainer too. I would LOVE to find a Place where I could use all my skills. The Dream work would be a advisor trainer in a big Company.
Your video is spot on perfect i teared up. Been fighting myself on a career that doesn’t feel right. Thank you for making me really dig in and understand myself.
Things i have enjoyed that is never offered: AAA tow truck driver- get to "rescue" stranded motorists and help them at a difficult time in their lives. Plenty of positive affirmation from members and leadership. Continually learning and perfecting skills. Retail-i got to help customers find merchandise. I saw customers searching and i got to help them get what they needed. To this day i see people in a store searching, i can't help myself from volunteering to help the person find what they need. Practical consideration is retail doesn’t pay as well, but a lot of satisfaction helping others. Towing paid better, and i miss it a lot. Negatives for the towing with a private small company is more adversarial working with impounds and payment collections. But if working with police calls, get many unique accident situations that keep the work interesting. Disliked a lot of corporate work to meet "arbitrary" metric quotas that didn’t make a lot of sense.
Wow this was so accurate .. funny I worked as a sales representative and I didnt excel as much as I did as compared to when I worked as a sales trainer. I later resigned from that company however because I didnt like the environment. I'm now trying to figure out my career path from here. I feel strongly in my heart that i should be a university lecturer.. great video!
Your video is helping me so much right now. I have followed my passion all my life and never cared about my personality type. I am so extremely often pushed to my limits and have felt unhappy. For the past few years I have known that I am ENFJ and everything is changing. I'm currently switching from Design & Art Director more towards Product Management, where I A have the opportunity to let off steam creatively, and B see my personality satisfied because of the user tests and user interviews. And I'm looking to get into a non-toxic environment. Your video reaffirmed for me that it's the right path. As the mandalorians would say, "This is the way!". Thank you for your incredibly great video!
Thank you. You absolutely nailed the inner workings of my mind as far as detailing specific workplace moments experienced, and the conclusions I drew from them. Essentially verbatim. And in such an efficient way. Great video, look forward to more!
I just discovered that I'm ENFJ. I study design, and i have more hobbies and interests that i can even manage - from photography, drawing, painting, digital and graphic art, poetry, filmmaking, you name it, I'm interested in. Any kinf of art. And also i have noticed that i'm great at teaching others what i have learnt. Create, create, create! I really can agree to every single word! 😊
I am an ENFJ, I'm a horticultural researcher from a university. I used to be in a community relations office but the conflict and political drama made me change my career to be a project based researcher wherein we are rewarded based on our performance and at the same time makes us learn a lot of new discoveries and knowledge through our research findings. Bonus is that I am around people whom are collaborative and really works as a team.
I'm an ENFJ. Ironically before discovering my personality type, I had decided to become a university psychology professor... don't think I could have chosen a better field 🤣.
Recently i have discovered that I am ENFJ too. I already have chosen to be a neuroscientist who changed my major somehow from pure mathematics to applied math, so that i can work with neuroscience applications Quantitatively:)
You're right! I was discussing about college and work with my family and they were like "oh you're an introvert, you should not work with many people bc it'll tiring you up" before I said anything. I feel like their support was right but the way they judge me at first before even ask me about what I want to do, what's my interest etc was wrong. And I can't seem to take their advice
Thank you. I did not understand myself until I took this test. I have a degree in history education and felt like I was a social historian. Meaning the trends and why's of people in history really were my interest. And I have always loved teaching. But I hated the school environment. So I didn't pursue it past the first year. I homeschooled my kids and in the process became an author. Where my strength is a deep dive into fictional Characters. I am also an artist and musician. I love helping people and council all my kids friends and my girlfriends. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this video!! I was previously doing Clinical Research and I got completely burnt out!! I just completed my license for Massage Therapy and I'm also a musician.. I will focus on a career of health & wellness and continue to do my music :D
Thank you so much for this video. I am an ENFJ, an Entrepreneur, Network marketer, IG content creator and artist. I am so happy right now being in service to help people in many areas in their lives, especially financially. Love to all.
This is all accurate. I’ve taken personality tests about a dozen times and always comes out as ENFJ. I’m an engineer but have always been leaning towards some form of teaching or mentoring career
Really cool video! I was watching it just to make sure that the career I chose isn't the wrong one. I am an independent musician, I love to write lyrics and open up, show my scars in front of other people so they can relate and they can feel safe knowing that they are not alone. I love expressing and discussing about thoughts and feelings although I discovered this side of me in my early 20s but even before that I was obsessed with equality, global peace and harmony (and hating authority) also expressing those through music. The only difference between global scale, political and social lyrics and very personal and honest ones being that the impact of the second type was palpable, I could have seen happy faces and even people coming to me saying "look, your music stopped me from ending it" and for me that thing is priceless. No money can buy the happiness that I feel in those moments. But because bills have to be payed and guitar strings don't grow in trees, I am forced to work in a corporation because where I live is almost impossible to survive on music. I test video games in a friendly environment with nice people (but for ENFJs all people are nice) just so I can keep doing what I love. Music, helping people and bringing people together for good causes. I was thinking getting into politics, maybe run for mayor for my hometown. But as you said, politics are full of conflicts and the kind of politics I would do would be out of the "normal" zone. (I guess I'm still an anarchist after all). Thanks for reassuring me that all those years were not in vain!
Nice. Well, choosing a career has been difficult, as I like so many different things. And at the same time, I don’t know if I want to do just one thing in my entire life
I'm an ENFJ-T, and I literally want to do everything. I have so many interests that it's extremely difficult to pick a major. But I'm going to try and follow my Dad's advice and be a "Renaissance girl." One who is great at many things. That's my goal.
You hit the nail on the head with the career opportunities. I started my career as a journalist. I wanted to get into Corporate Communications, but fate first put me through 4 years of content writing. But it was a blessing because when I got into internal communications two years ago, I could research and create content on subjects I had no idea about and enjoyable to read as well 😁. For me personally, I would never go for teaching as a profession simply because I don't have the patience to deal with students. Great video. Please keep them coming. 😊
Such a great and helpful vid! You know some people speak as if ENFJ's are strict teachers or politicians which i do hate to be honest and they dont even think that there are different ENFJ's such as "creative artists" as you said and it just got me feel trapped and over thinking if i should be a politician or sth😂😂but this video was really really helpful and gave me new ideas about my future! Working in a vivid invironment where ppl understand eachother and grow together and is filled by jokes and harmony is my ideal one and im glad finally somebody made a vid which is not so cliche! Thank you!
I am currently getting a bachelors in Family and human development and I have been trying to figure out what I want to do for a really long time :( I feel lost but I’m in the wheel house for what I want to do. I have considered teaching, social work, counseling. I love crocheting, helping people, science, and connecting with people. I was a server for awhile at Olive Garden and loved it and now I’m a barista/trainer at my current job at Starbucks. I have volunteered at schools to see what social work and teaching is like and I’m interested in it but still haven’t had my light bulb moment. I also don’t know what degree to pick in order to get where I want to go because I can’t afford to go back to school. This is my only shot to pick a career. So I’m between being a LCSW and being a college teacher for human development. I’m just worried about money and work environment and location
This is such a good video. The way he speaks and the warmth on his face show how much he cares. Kudos to you, sir. Thank you for doing such brilliant work.
Brilliant. 😊 Thank you. Anecdote: I thought I wanted a career in law enforcement. I was able to go through the bootcamp police training, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and working in the team. However, I realized that in the long run I would have to sacrifice my creative dream, and in the end, even though I completed the program, I changed my career goals. Now, I'm working towards pursuing writing and media as a career, and I have to say, I haven't been happier. 😊 My close friends and family also feel I've made the right decision. They think I'd make a good professor or lawyer too, and honestly, I'm open to both those things as stable jobs while I work on my long-term goals. 😉
I am an ENFJ . I can relate to all of the things you said. I am post my music content on RU-vid from last 4 years. Recently , I started teaching guitar Online and I am loving it. Very helpful video.💜
In my opinion, no matter what jobs workin at. It won't be fun or enjoyable, what's enjoyable from work are accomplishments. What I would do is make it NOT BORING. Working in places that being able to change at least partially time to time. I am ENFJ
I’m an enfj who studied business but find myself really lost in finding a job that I would enjoy, I am really into teaching but feel like it’s too late to change. I guess I would be regret for the rest of my life for not be able to choose a meaningful career
Good video. I am an ENFJ. I'm a professional writer. I am also a clergy candidate with my denomination. You, to me, were pretty spot on. Writing is a solitary profession. The church role is where I meet my need for social interaction. Thank you.
Just retired from an amazing job advising college students in my own college major, (graduated myself at 40, so re-entry students, whom we had a number of, were my faves) However, the admin bit was not my best thing. Hated the rules, plus general gpa calculations, etc. Paperwork killed me. I was always a perfect rep for the cause (the University, the learning, the professors, and truly loved that part of it.) But now looking for a new way of helping people that doesn’t involve the structure quite so much… Never wanted to be a “Counselor” at large, but dang that’s where my personality type always falls. We’ll see.
Hey, you touched me in a good way and you catched almost everything in my character. I really want to have a conversation with you. You touched me and woke me up. Because of this reason I just cant forget you and I wanna start ordering coffee or whatever. When I ll be rich and a popular I want to support you that is why we should keep in touch. Regards...
I graduated from computer science. :) I was working as a programmer for some time and then went more into working with a clients on requirements for systems, negotiating etc. So I'm combining my skills, knowledge and personality and I'm super happy! :) If you like science go for it! In every field there are teams to be lead, people to helped and ideas to be shared. :)
I've been considering a freelancing career in Copywriting because I want to work remotely while traveling, but to your point - the social and helping aspect needs to be satisfied in order to enjoy my profession and my day-to-day activities. Do you think this career choice can be fulfilling in that way? (You mentioned it as an option under the Creative pathway, but wondering if it's the best choice.) I'm currently in Project Management but I work on technical improvements and training others in new tools. The training and support aspect is definitely where I find the most fulfilment, but the work is a bit boring and I don't get enough FaceTime...so I'm currently finding ways to work in Communications internally to build some experience in that area. I also love the Coaching idea, but I don't think I have enough experience in one particular field to be confident in that yet. I'm also writing fiction on the side to satisfy the creative yearning, and I've started hosting a writers group so that I can connect with other writers and fill that supportive role. An editor and writing coach could be in the cards one day, too, and I love the idea of becoming a Media Producer/Director or Video Editor (Too many options!! arghh)
I'm a b2b furniture sales and i feel like my work doesn't help/impact other people [just so you know, i've tried changing my mindset, i've tried everything] so i simply slack off :)) I think i should be a stock broker or real estate / any kind of insurance agent instead 🤔🤔 Selling dreams looks easier than selling products. Cuz we ENFJs are one the most convincing personalities from 16 of 'em Any critiques ?? Please do.
Hi! How are you? Based on Seoul, the weather has been somewhat warmer since today. The weather in April in Korea is changing more and more. I hope the rest of the week will be a healthy day. ^O^
I"m an ENFJ copywriter! But unfortunately I'm not in a conflict free environnement. So my aim now (at 26 years old) is to change my working environement for a new one, but keep it copywriting (I'm thinking of starting a freelance career in copywriting).
Same, I wanted to study accounting but I feel like overtime it will become really unsatisfying for me. I’m thinking about becoming english teacher now.
ENFJ here chose to become psychologist, as much as I love people and helping them but I feel the ability to absorb others feeling/empathy has a tole on me. Maybe working with less severe patients would be better 🤔
I (ENFJ-A) started as a Music Teacher (MEd = student loans! ARRRG!), but had difficulty finding the "perfect" full time job in the area I wanted to live (nobody was retiring!). Most jobs were half time choir gigs, and my wife and I had bills to pay. So I took more classes post-grad and changed everything to become a software engineer, which I have been for the last 21 years. I found the creative and disciplined approach was very similar to being a musician and a teacher. But now what? Thanks for the video.
