: I recently took the test and came out as Type 4. It definitely
: answered some of my questions as to why I can't seem to find work I enjoy.
: I studied biochemistry in university (I was expected to become a doctor),
: but once I was out of school, I realized that I had no interest in pursuing
: a science or any medically-related career. I have since worked in retail
: sales (hated it), pharmaceuticals (hated it), and financial services
: (very boring). I currently work for a very corporate pension consulting
: firm and every day, I feel like a little more of my spirit is dying. : At this point, I have no idea what type of career would satisfy me. The
: only thing I really enjoy now are the ballet classes that I recently
: started attending. : How would any of you suggest a Type 4 (raised to be otherwise) go about
: discovering her passion? : Thanks, in advance!
: Elisa-
Congratulations on becoming a 4! It definitely helps a lot- I found this place not that long ago
and it has become such a relief. I think every uh "4" struggles w/ that would fulfill them career wise.
W/ parents that wanted me to be a lawyer or a politician, it's definitely hard to break free and find out
what we can do w/ our lives that can make us happy and content. Considering you like ballet (which I do too!)
it may mean that you like expressing yourself in different ways which may mean you may like to find a career
in some kind of artsy field. I guess the only way to find out is to try different things that appeal to you
and see which one you'd be most successful in. I'm really not one to talk though since I have no idea what
I will be doing w/ my life but I hope that helps!
