hmmm... all I can say is that in academics following your intellectual passions doesn't always pay off... I have 3 liberal arts degrees and can't find a job using any of them thanks to a government hiring freeze in my area :thumbdown:

There's always a flip side. I've got one BA in English and parlayed it into a technical writing career that has finally landed me in a nice secure position with a pharmaceutical company doing work that I coridially loathe.

Sometimes following your intellectual passions really doesn't pay off, as you say.

also, intuitives problem: all must make sense on greater level...i must satisfy your current feelings, hunches, interests...it must stimulate you
getting distracted is easy when you are like that, always searching for something new.

ExTP seems more like ENTP in your case.

I thought that was Ti...but yeah, I've been thinking I'm ENTP lately...I do have a lot of Se moments though.

haha is it? wow. then i use it a lot.

i thought Ne because i connect too much in my head and want to connect everything on wide level.. which is so often unrealistic

You're probably right too. Everything must make sense sounds like Ti, but 'On a greater level' could be Ne at work as well.

study the most practical thing you can find that won't bore you to tears and take the classes that really interest you for your electives... or if you're super lucky, you'll find something practical that you're passionate about :holy:

which degrees? what sort of jobs do you enjoy?
