What Career(s) do you Aspire to Have?

So what DO you aspire to be?

I would enjoy being an inventor or an entrepreneur. Seeing as i can do these things while bypassing making good grades to get into a good college to get a different career.

Also, how long did you think that this is what you would want to be? Or was it a very random, "THATS WHAT I WANT TO DO!!" sort of thing?

Economic scientist. Game theorist. Journalist.

Electrical engineer/computer scientist/entrepreneur/RULER OF THE WORLD.

I decided the first two when I watched a video about Nikola Tesla in Physics and decided I wanted to be like him. The latter two have always been obvious for me.

nice. for me, the feud between tesla and edison are what made me want to be an inventor, but i hope i will have a rival in my excursion.

That can be arranged

...except I'd kind of have to be an INTJ for that to work....Oh, well...

Edison and Tesla were both perceived as ENTP, and i do enjoy clashing with fellow ENTP's. It'd work great because of the heightened "one-upmanship" that comes when two ENTP's battle it out.

I'd argue that Edison was more xNTJ than ENTP; he was a much better businessman than Tesla, which is why he is so much more well-known today! But I suppose that's another point entirely.

To be quite honest, I always thought Edison was an ESTJ or possibly an ISTJ. ENTPs can be industrious sure but Edison had the work ethic of an SJ.

EDIT: I should add I believe da Vinci is an ENTP and probably more accurate iconoclast (and Tesla) to the type.

I would love to have show like josh gates and his destination truth. Travel around the world to run around the woods at night looking for creepy/weird/scary stuff = my dream/never growing up, lol

As for Edison type, I don't think it would take an ENTP 700+ tries to invent something, we would get distracted or finish it way before then. Unless it was just an exciting refinement process, which isn't really trying to invent something anyway.
