[MBTI General] Most challenging/dangerous job you had?

[yenom]

What job do you think is the most challenging and dangerous?

I think I am going to apply to work in the construction industry.
So I could go build skyscrapers, and work some 300 + m above ground.

 

[gromit]

Shark dentist.

 

[yenom]

How bout drug dealer? How much are a shark's tooth worth?

 

[Kasper]

Army recruit.

Bullets are deadly, incompetence was everywhere!

Illegal jobs count too right?

The most dangerous job I had was when I used to sell crack on the streets. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. Not only do you have to worry about crazy crackheads, rival drug dealers and snitches... But its also pretty nerve wrecking that with nearly every transaction that's made it's a minimum of 5-10 years in prison.
(yes this is true about me, I'm not making a joke)

An ENFJ slanging crack? Who would have thunk? Did the fact that you were selling something harmful and illegal create a lot of conflict with your NF nature?

Working at a bank transferring millions of dollars for big clients, doing account corrections, handling IRA accounts & taxes. It was challenging/dangerous to me because I suck at math lol.

 

[yenom]

It doesn't have to be dangerous.

Challenging and stressful can also be part of the criteria.

I didn't put it into the Academics and Career section because I want to see what career experiences NT had.

 

[Sparrow]

Oops Im not an NT, I wasnt paying attention my bad!

 

[Redbone]

Working in a microbiology lab.

I stuck myself with needles...twice! It is unbelievable that people will want you to fill out an incident report before they will even treat you...*sigh* I also cut myself with a scalpel.

Most challenging?
Being a mother...always and forever.

Heheh… I’m sure that’s surprising for people to hear. The thing that I’ve learned most in this forum so far is that I cannot relate to any other male ENFJs in here. I have two male ENFJ friends IRL and they’re anything but soft. I can switch from ENFJ to ENxJ fairly easily too, but then again I am enneagram 8w7.

My ENFJ friends are actually still both drug dealers. (not crack though)…They’re consciously aware that what they’re doing isn't good, but they just make a conscious rationalization about it. The rationalization they use is fairly simple. It’s pretty much just, “I need money to survive so I’m just doing what I gotta do.”

Did the fact that you were selling something harmful and illegal create a lot of conflict with your NF nature?

When I was younger it actually didn't create conflict because this was just normal behavior for me, but now that I'm more mature it definitely would. When I was younger I had all the ENFJ qualities except for the feeling ‘guilt’ part.

I wrote about this in pretty good detail in these two posts:
