: 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? Elisa I can really identify with what you wrote.
I'm 31 but I'm still not sure what I want to be when I "grow-up".
I like to write and draw when I'm not working and this seems
to help give me a sense of fulfillment. I also think that volunteer
work can be helpful b/c you can get satisfaction
that you might not find in a job. If you have a ballet troupe in
your city, maybe you can help them behind the scenes.
I don't think that I'll ever have a job I really like so I try
to find fulfillment in other pursuits. Maybe this will lead me to
something I will really love.
