Type: INTP
Major(currently a 1st yr): Music, with bits of english, french and psychology.
Career: Bum/student
Prospective career: No idea. Possibly lecturing, music psychology, 2nd level teaching (though the thought of it makes me die a little inside), composer of film scores (highly unlikely) or game scores, concert pianist (even less likely - my hands are stupidly small), orchestral flute player (miniscule chance of happening), writer, music journalist, photographer, professional beggar(Why Professional Beggars Earn More Money Than You! - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com), Lotto winner who reads all day :tongue:.....

I really just don't know right now.

I've been leaning towards this more and more, and it's something I'd really love to do. I heard that only if you can't imagine yourself doing anything else, to go for this career. I can't really picture myself in any of the other jobs I listed... Anyone have any thoughts on an INTP symphony musician? Can/will it work? :)

Type: ENFP
Major: Anthropology and Psychology
Contemplating minors: Spanish and something Environmental.
Current Job: Unemployed fulltime student.
Other Degrees: Contemplating Master's in Community planning and sustainability.

When it comes down to it, I want to just spend my time reading, writing, traveling, volunteering, and experiencing new things. Honestly, I'm only in school to learn. If I get something out of it, great. But it will be a career in which I can better the world such as making communities more sustainable or some sort of awareness job.
