Any INTJs out there who love their job? What do you do and why do you love you job?

The majority of the time I love my job =)

I do bookkeeping/payroll/taxes in a year-round accounting office.

Things I love about it:
- Limited client interaction
- I'm given specific assignments w/very manageable deadlines
- I'm constantly learning new things
- I'm given a lot of freedom/space to do my work at my own pace
- Every day is a bit different (it's not really repetitive)
- It's a Mon - Fri day job (I'm free on the evenings & weekends)
- The work requires actual thinking rather than just being mindless work
- It also requires specialized knowledge
- If I choose to stay in this career, there are practically unlimited options for certificates/further education
- My boss is an Introvert (lol)

There are more things but those the things that first come to mind.

I like the quote in your signature pic. Is it yours or from somewhere?

Thanks. I didn't write it, I just ran across it online a few weeks ago. It didn't have an author listed but I just did a quick search & found that it's from Frank Herbert's Dune book series (which I've heard of but never read). It's called the "Litany Against Fear" & the entire quote is:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

@JadenAria, Dune is an excellent series. Worth reading.

Many thanks, it's years since I attempted to read dune.
I have someone who may benefit from this quote, thanks for the effort of finding its origin.

I will stop derailing the thread now, sorry to all.

I'll second this....

I come in here to find out about jobs and all I see is rambling. Pshh...

Now where is my spice melange?!

Currently, I'm working as a clerk for a small town 'mom-and-pop' video rental store with a selection of groceries. While it's not my ideal job, it does allow for a good deal of personal time and provides a high degree of autonomy. It's nice to clean and improve the entire store in small ways, while developing ideas in my head for after my shift. Dealing with people becomes tedious, after a while, but it's better than no job.

For schooling, however, I'm going into law enforcement. Likely, as a member of the RCMP, there will be myriad opportunities to improve society.

I love my job. Working for a small start-up in charge of marketing. Complete creativity and budget allowance to hire SJs to do all the mindless work.
