I just thought I would throw this out there since it is such an interesting topic. My best friend (very unmotivated) finally decided to take a grip on her life and decide her future at the age of 20. She has been out of school since she was 18 and has only recently been hired for a job at a camera store.
She decided that she wanted to start thinking about a serious job for her future and I got really excited. To my dismay she presented me with a brochure to a school for training morticians. She sees this as her career for life. (She had always been very grim; she loves looking at real gore and dead bodies, etc.)
I will support her in any decision that she makes, but I was just wondering what others think about an ENFP spending her life preparing dead bodies for funerals? I know that any type can take on any job. But would a quintessential ENFP be able to tolerate this kind of job?
I would get into my opinion, but I don't want to influence people's posts. I'll just say that I think it would inhibit her ability to creatively adapt to and solve problems, which she is very good at. Unless you count strategically gluing a dead bodies eyes shut as creative adaption...
