Socionics and your career

[TheWholeEnglish]

Are there any resources out there that advise on career paths for different socionics types, similar to the way MBTI does?

Nothing really extensive as far as I can tell.

IT DOESN'T SAY COSMETICS STORE MANAGER WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY LIFE OMGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Sales manager"?

That list covered all the things I've considered doing, that I have done, that I do, and that I might do. The only missing item is law, except that the only kind of law I might practice is public-interest law, which is a sociopolitical / helping kinda thing.

Lol, I totally wanted to study employment law for a while because I hate the way companies treat people and wanted to work for a union. My interest in law was exclusively emotional.

That's not a bad motivation at all. I have a friend who went into law in order to establish services for renters in Texas who speak English as a second language and get hopelessly jacked around. You'd just want to find a law school that will support your more activist intentions. I'm under the impression that UC Davis might . . . I know they used to give a substantial tuition break to students who worked in the public sector for a given period of time after graduation.

Not that you said you still want to pursue that or anything.

Open a bar and $

Yes gulenko and I think filatova mentions them in the type descriptions. They are quite generic though.

A drive in maybe?

I'm curious about how many people here use, have used, or plan to use socionics in their chosen career.

Two particular questions that occur to me atm:

1. Did your knowledge of socionics influence you in your choice of career? If so, in what way?

2. The reverse: did you first learn about socionics bc of your career or job? (I can imagine psychologists or writers stumbling across it this way....)

1. I didn't choose my career because of my knowledge of socionics. But my choice of career was likely influenced by my socionics type. I'm a LIIbrarian. I enjoy information and classifying it, it's appealing to the Ti.

2. No. I happened to stumble upon it online when looking up information about Myers-Briggs.

Socionics doesn't determine a person's career or job choices. There are professions that one can't tolerate nevertheless they will do it for income reasons. I was always great at math so Accounting came naturally to me. It is an isolated introverted profession and I make more money than my number one or two choices. I would have preferred a career in college counseling, therapy of some kind or teaching but they don't pay as well and one has to work way more hours at them.
