Could Your Personality Type Shape Your Career?
When considering a career, I believe that many people choose career paths for the wrong reasons. Money, status, participation in a family business. These are all valid reasons to choose a career, but it doesn't mean that it will personally satisfy you.
I read an article from U.S. News about choosing jobs that are a fit with your personality. Now, it's not always easy to determine exactly how to describe your personality, but here are a couple of categories to think about:
- Practical, straightforward = engineers, technicians, doctors
- Investigative, analytical = professors, software developers
- Artistic, creative = interior designer, graphic artist
- Helpful, social = nursing, therapy, teaching
These are only a few areas to consider, finding your calling based on your interests and what fits your personality might be a start in the right direction for finding the perfect career, or shed some light on why your current career may not be working for you.
