I once started to narrow down what I wanted to do...the list grew 2 times bigger :(

[The Chronic Liar]

I'm incredibly uncertain. Sure, granted I still have 4 more years to decide but I can't for the life of me decide what I want to do. I want to do so many things and it's so damn difficult to narrow them down and choose! >:(

[CJ99]

I can't decide on a career either so I've given up trying to pick one career!

Instead I've got a few planned! So far one the list of thngs to try:

Actuary - Get paid shit loads for doing maths. HELL YEAH!

Architect - Once I get the middle life crisis and need to become creative! Also then I can build myself my own home to have a familly for a while!

Programer - for when I'm young and want to travel about loads. Also handy for other jobs as people respect you when you can make PCs dance!

Lecturer - I wanna be on TED.com and I want a Phd so I can officially be called Dr.

Entreprenuer - Cause I think thats just in my nature and most people I admire are entreprenuers! (and yes I know I can't spell!)

Actor - whenever I can If I can. I do a lot of stage stuuf and I love doing comedy so If I get a chance at Uni I will take it!

Yeah theres loads more but those are the realistic ones! I'm either going down the programmer, actuary or lecturer route first. Entreprenuer later when I get something to start a business with! and Architect when I'm older and feel the need to creat and shape the wolrd more rather than just experience it!

YESSSSSSSS x1000!

My problem stems from the fact that I want to do everything. In my dream life, I start as a local news host who gains nationwide acclaim upon the publication of my first novel, which then gets signed for a movie deal and gets my foot in the door for a movie production career, for which I will gain international recognition and be able to travel the world. While all this is happening, my permanent home would be in a picturesque small town, where I will direct the school plays, raise horses, compose original pieces for the community college orchestra, and found a non-profit dedicated to improving the community. I'd also have a family, and play host to the family reunions every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's important to note that this is all cumulative, not a progression; the only "progression" comes in "retirement," (i.e., post kids' graduation) when I will run for senator, and hopefully by then space exploration will become commonplace enough that I can visit the moon before I die. Yup, that's the dream. And no, they definitely don't have a major for that.

So I guess I shouldn't have been so enthusiastic when I said yes. The answer is actually, "No, I know EXACTLY what I WANT to do, I just don't know which one to tell my parents I'm going for first." (Because let's face it, if anyone could pull off a life like described, it's an ENTP).

I'm currently a journalism major, but that only covers a fraction of what I want my career-ish thing to be.

Visit this link (may need to copy and paste):

www.bmjcareers.co.uk

It is written for physicians but I think it could be something for everyone.

When you enter the page, go to the "search"-box and search for "understanding personality types". Interesting articles for those about to choose careers and who are interested in MBTI.

I think I have wanted to try every job at some point.
For me, college was never really a question. I just wanted to surround myself with other intellectuals...

At this point, I have narrowed it down to trial lawyer, philosophy professor, psychologist, or an actress.
My dream job is to be a research psychologist, and do voice-over acting on the side...
...I think...

And depending on how extroverted you are, if you're not working with people you are going to be miserable. Never look for a job where you are stuck behind a desk working 8 to 5 or staring at a computer screen all day. We need social interaction. Like a flower needs sunlight.

Incredibly true. The last few years i have been working too much alone (personal reasons). Now I am starting up projects with other people just for the interaction and "drive" this gives me. Socializing with enthusiastic people really energizes me.

Yes, definitively true! Stuck behind a desk, long term follow-up paperwork and one-on-one interactions in the office. A true killer. At least for me.

I used to have the same trouble of not knowing what I wanted to do. There was a point where i was going to do 3 degrees, but due to the New Zealand Education system I was forced to narrow it down. Which is realy hard. I had to know where I wanted to go by 15.

Ultimately I chose
Architect or an Engineer(Software or Mechatronics)

It clearly doesn't get better. My husband is a 34-year-old ENTP.

Bachelor's degree in computer engineering -> job working programming military radios -> master's in "applied computer science -> programming non-embedded software -> layoff
MBA -> owning his own business

Now he's decided that he doesn't like owning his own business, so he's sold it and is going to law school. (Which involves a 3.5 hour drive and him having an apartment there during the week.)

Frustrates the hell out of me. I got my degree in computer science and just celebrated eleven years at this job. If I lost it, I'd look for another programming job.
