Hello,
as a new member, I'm still finding my way around, so I apologise if I'm posting this thread in the wrong place...or if someone has covered this topic adequately elsewhere.
I'm struggling to find a way towards a new career or some sort of day to day work that feels genuinely fulfilling, and I'm hoping other INFJ's here might divulge the work they do and talk a little about why they do or don't like it.
I've recently realized I'm an INFJ, after testing as an INFP for a long time, it finally became clear that I'm actually very J. I think I may differ from the 'typical' descriptions of an INFJ, I'm really not psychic at all, and I may come off rather T at times, but I am certainly Ni dom, with Ti, both of which make me rather intense at times, I am a sharer though - anyone else find it easy to share their feelings with others? Sadly I may share too much - it can certainly be very hard for me to not appear exactly how I feel - for this reason I am rather forthcoming about my thoughts and feelings - it's almost by way of explaining my grave countenance!
Anyway, I'm searching (aren't we all) for some insight into my future. I am a librarian by training, but I'm a nanny right now. I married a US citizen two years ago & had to abandon my career in the USA because my qual is not valid here. I'm reluctant to pay a lot of money to do my qualification again, as I think it was time for me to move on anyway. I do enjoy writing, it's a great release for me, but don't feel like it's an ideal way to earn a living, and I'm neither productive nor particularly talented (but have no real idea as I have never shown anyone my work).
I suppose I'm simply interested in hearing some stories, but any advice from fellow NF's would be much appreciated!
