Florence Said:

would you be willing to do a quick career assessment for me?

We Answered:

Financial advisor.

You need to be:
1) outgoing, or willing to speak to and relate to a variety of people
6) like a challenge as you will be convincing people to do something when most people don't like to change anything
7) prefer major autonomy as you will be your own boss and make your own decisions
8) be in control of your financial future
10) knowledge of psychology will help you with relating to people and forcing them to do what is best for them
11) extremely high earning potential as you will profit as your clients profit. There will always be more people who are earning or have saved considerable amounts of money who do not know how to make their money work for them
12) wide range of interests give you a basis of knowledge of stocks in a wide range of fields
13) no blood
14) can set your own hours so that you can choose the times you wish to be physically active
15) already have insurance license so you have basic knowledge of meeting people and advising on financial programs

You would be building on what you have already accomplished so that you can offer more to your clients. Rather than just providing insurance to safeguard their possessions, you will be helping them with a larger area of their life. You can work for a company that provides research or you can do a lot of the research on your own. Provide the whole spectrum from bonds, corporate and government, to stocks, whether blue chip or high risk.

What is your Myers-Briggs personality indicator type? Do you feel it accurately represents you?

We Answered:

apparently i'm a INTJ... seems to fit, the first suggested career is natural science and i'm a biologists

"Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations"

lol, so true : (

I Don't Know What Career to Decide on?

We Answered:

Hi,

If you're trying to figure out what job or career you want, or if you don't like your current one and want a new one, you might be trying to find the "ideal" job or career by asking yourself "what do I want to DO?"

But that question may do more harm than good because you may not be able to come up with an answer that really helps you, and that's if you can think of one at all.

This may be because you don't know what you want to do, or because there are just too many things you want to do, or because it's a loaded question: it implies that there must be one answer, which you just can't decide on.

So maybe, if you're struggling with knowing what you want to do career-wise, it's time for another question: what do you want to LEARN?

Well, here's an exercise to help you determine what your next career move should be (whether it's choosing or starting a new career, or somehow modifying your current one).

Find some paper or load up Notepad on your computer, and make a list of all the career or job-related knowledge and skills you want to develop. Once you've done this, assign a priority to each item.

Finally, consider what careers or jobs will probably teach you what you want to know in the priority that you want to know it.

Just keep in mind that you may not be able to learn everything from one career, job or company, and what you want to learn may change too, but at least now, you know what you want to learn, and which jobs or careers will allow you to learn it.

So, you should stop trying to find an answer to the question of what you want to do. Go through the fun exercise above and let your answers as to what you want to learn guide you towards the right job(s) and/or career(s) for you =)

Good luck!

How do you know what the best career fit is?

We Answered:

I admire people who are honestly interested in most things in life. Although choosing a career can be a bit difficult, there are many ways to narrow down your choices. You might want to talk to some of your friends or relatives who are older and already started to study or work in the areas that you are mostly interested in. You can go to some of the work environments and get at least a high-level experience about some of these fields. Furthermore, I recommend you to take a look at this website. It tries to find a suitable career path that matches your skills and interests, using artificial intelligence. It also has information regarding current salary of different careers:
