Ok, my second question of the night, but I am very excited to have found this forum. :)
Like I'm sure everyone here, I want to do something fulfilling to both myself and society. I am an International Affairs major starting my Masters next year in DC. I do express myself better in writing than speaking, but I am not really good at the creative arts (besides my singing). I want to do something as a career that is practical and will influence people in a meaningful and real way. It is for this reason I am concentrating in economics. I also find that although I am not good at deriving math, once I've learned it, a bit can be fun in a "yea, I solved this problem, I kick butt" kind of way.
What kind of career could be fulfilling in this area for someone like us? (I am not sure if I want to go into the private, public, or NGO sector).
Analyst? Consultant?
Thank you for your feedback!

Re: Professional Careers for an INFP
Wed, April 22, 2009 - 9:09 PMIt's funny that you ask this questions since I just posted a new blog entry (www.infpblog.com) about how I don't the MBTI is a good starting place for career goals. I think an INFP can really do anything they want do and your MBTI type shouldn't be a consideration.
Here's a question: If you won $20 million dollars tomorrow and didn't have to work, what would you be doing? That's usually a good place to start.
I prefer the traditional success coaches like Brian Tracy or Tony Robbins when it comes to helping me figure out my goals. Their approach is values based, ie what are my values, which jobs fit these values. I think it's a better methodology for finding a fulfilling career.
