[INFP] INFP's - What is your occupation

[Koocoomoo]

Estudiante
Going to be a psychologist or a nurse

 

[Meadow]

I work part-time reviewing medical records, writing summaries, and making decisions on disability claims. The part of the job I like is reading about people - traumatic things they've been through or are going through because of/or resulting in some physical or mental problem, etc. The part I don't like is making a decision on whether they should get money or not.

 

[Stanton Moore]

I'm the Plans Coordinator for the Customer Engineering dept at Seattle City Light (King county, WA electric utility). This means that I'm basically an overpaid admin assistant. But it works for now. I may go back to school for a masters in psychology or....music composition.(INFP posterboy)

So far I've been:

Piano salesman
Music teacher (drums, some piano)
Tutor (mostly in Latin/Greek, English comp & 'critical thinking')
A temp at various jobs while living in NYC (this was an interesting period, and I grew up a lot; I learned how to take some knocks and keep pushing forward).

I work in a lease-end accounts processing department for a major car company. I stare at a computer all day creating final customer invoices and processing customer checks. It is a number crunching job--not accounting but many people in the department call my team accountants. It's okay, definitely not a long term job for me. It is very solitary and repetitive but I get to wear headphones and listen to podcasts or the Rolling Stones all day.

 

[MrStombles]

I'm in my first year of college, and if that doesnt work out I'll be a professional vagrant. Some kind of service job would be really cool once/if I finish school though

 

[Amargith]

Sucking majorly at faking an ESFJ facade as a secretary. I'm applying for jobs like mediator and communication consultant these days though and thinking of getting my Masters in Psychology. Atm I hold a Masters in Translation and have been self-employed and worked as a receptionist and assistant at veterinary clinic.

 

[BlueSprout]

Student and tutor. I'm not sure that's typable. I like how much variety there is in this thread so far; wasn't expecting to find a research engineer or real estate agent when I clicked on the link.

This seems like a pretty awesome job history (minus the hard knocks). Which one was most fulfilling for you?

That is actually pretty interesting. I like it!

[A-I]

All my real job experience is in sales over the phone. Win-back / customer retention, getting new customers / and now also selling insurances etc. My only real determination for even working for 'the man' at all is because it's been an easy and natural choice for job experience, using my skills and the best way for me to make the income I want for the hours I put in the job.

Notice that I use the word job here, and not career. I can't stress that enough.

 

[mr.awesome]

im just getting out of school and currently dabble in freelance graphic designing of sorts.
planning to be a graphic designer for my brothers company, hopefully selling some artwork on the side. not set in stone yet. at the moment im just a design butterfly haha.

 

[Silverwhisper]

I'm currently working as a library assistant. Due to my book fetish, I plan to head on to grad school to get my MLS degree and become a librarian. In my downtime, I'll finally get a chance to finish that novel I've been working on.

[Betty Blue]

retail bitch for 3 years. I'm a sophomore in college, but when I get out I hope I can become a conceptual artist (I drew the picture on my profile page). Don't know what I'm doing in school though, I don't even have a major (but I plan on transferring). I'm clueless.

AMAZING drawing! Don't say hope to be, you already are...go for it!

[SpankyMcFly]

Well I've mostly done dispatching. I'm a coordinator of worker bees who are driving for the company in some capacity, i.e. service, transport, technicians etc. I am expected to be an ESTJ at work.

 

[BRMC117]

Firefighter

 

[cfs1992]

I'm still a student but I intend to be a history/ philosophy professor any day...

 

[Cephalonimbus]

I'm unemployed... i lost my job due to severe depression. I did graphic design/desktop publishing at an offset printing company.

I'm afraid i'll have to start a new career because the print industry is in a pretty bad place. There are very few applicable jobs left and freelancing is too stressful at the moment.

As soon as i'm mentally stable i'll focus on becoming social worker. But before i get started on that, i'll finish my group therapy and just do odd jobs, doesn't really matter what. Something feels wrong about a social worker who's fucked in the head

 

[Curwhibble]

I'm a paid laboratory assistant in a biological faculty at the university i'm studying at that dabbles in practical conservation work when the contracts that tolerate my lack of experience pop up. On an as and when basis i'm an environmental education officer for primary school children. Plus a few hours a week working on a checkout, because it's the only bit of work with reliable hours each week.

Otherwise i'm just a student. Cheap wage for long hours because the experience is needed.

 

[Talisyn]

In my downtime, I'll finally get a chance to finish that novel I've been working on.

Me too

I'm still a student but I intend to be a history/ philosophy professor any day...

I really considered this

I'm unemployed... i lost my job due to severe depression. I did graphic design/desktop publishing at an offset printing company.

I was afraid of this and dropped out of the graphic design program after my 3rd semester of college


Sooooo.... I'm an Elementary teacher. Summers are the best!
