just wondering..
it seems that office 9 to 5 jobs are those that (most usually) require strict deadline, structured schedules, plans, time-tables, targets, goals, etc etc.
I don't know, but I'm just guessing here: it seems that all these characteristics are an automatic put-off for those "P" , be it an INFP, or INTP, or ESTP, or ESFP, etc.
Example: my father is an ISTP.
though we differ a lot in opinions (many times), and we even goes into conflict mode, but one thing that we both have in common is: how we just hate to go to work in a very-structured, 9 to 5 kind of job!
heck, even my dad now just stays at home nowadays, and only rarely he checks to his chemical factory!....which my ESFJ mother, predictably, is often feel very furious & frustrated with his seemingly 'lazy' & 'unorganized' attitudes.
it seems that most offices (i'm not saying all..there are always some 'exceptional' offices) are those that fits well with "J" people/folks-attitude, since they have lots of structures, deadlines, and many other "J" things.
I myself, just hate office-work ,....but what can I do ?? ...MOST jobs are those of corporate (office) jobs, that no matter how boring or dull it is, to be able to eat some food for the day, we "P" seems to have to FORCE ourselves to get-up every morning, shower, go fast-forward into office, then work work work ur a$$ 'till 5pm, some even 'till 8 pm! ....then dinner & sleep. then repeat the cycle again.
how i wish i can just break this vicious cycle,....but it seems that these things are just NO problems for the "J" people ?
can anybody relate with me here?
what do u guys think?
