Great, I'm an INFJ

Ever since moving to the happiest place on earth my main goal has been to either go back to school or find a career. Since there are not many career opportunites, not just in Sacramento, but all over California, I have leaned toward going back to school. I have spent most of my week stressing in front of my computer because I have no idea what I want to do. It is sort of a life changing decision to pick a career. I have been going over various programs at everything from trade schools to universities, and nothing really has jumped out at me. Maybe that's not 100% true.

There are things I want to do in my life. Work in video games or write. I have thought of applying to be a games blogger for the Examiner but along with applying I would have to provide some evidence of my writing and all I have are these profane strung, and disorganized posts on this blog. I guess I should try to edit the posts so that they look somewhat professional, but that will take some time. Anyway I'm not keeping my hopes up that I will get that gig. That brings me back to the part where I am supposed to go to school. I do not want to do any of these things that these schools are offering certificates in. I'm pretty set on not getting another degree because I really do not want to take all of that general education stuff again.

I took this career quiz a friend suggested. It was not one of those quizzes where you answer five questions and they tell you what Happy Days character you are. It was almost 50 questions so it seemed pretty thorough. The results are supposed to tell you about your personality, and which careers are best suited for that personality. I am an INFJ. The description is pretty dead on. I like working alone, I prefer smaller circles of people, sensitive, lots of personality, etc. I have read a few sites to see which career I should pursue. The five most common careers that come up are:

Clergyman

Photographer

Alternative Health Care Practitioner

Psychologist/Psychiatrist

Writer

Blargh, really? I mean that's what I'm trying to do now! I am not really trying hard enough I guess. I told myself two days ago that if I could write articles for 6 hours a day then I'll seriously pursue writing as a career. This is my first post since making that deal with myself. It's really difficult to believe that I can write for a living with this lack of discipline. This is why I continue to look elsewhere for my future. I'm sort of leaning toward web design, but like I said my heart is not really in it. It's not too much to ask that I want a career that interests me just a little, right?
