I have a very introverted fit job which is bookkeeping in my own office, away from people and any external contact, that means no Internet. The only tough part is not working with people.

Dual type(as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

My sister (self-typing EII) has a similar set-up, doing software engineering, and is throwing around the idea of quitting her decent-paying job and becoming a masseuse.Originally Posted by Maritsa
the reason? Not enough people contact.
I keep telling her... people contact can be overrated. Especially when you have a steady income coming in, why deal with all the complications of people contact?

Yeah, why not take care of that in your free time? It can also be quite strenuous, mostly for introverts I suppose.
I worked on a larger project lately, together with one other person. Because a friend had access to a room in the college, we (4 people) met almost every day over the course of months. This was quite unusual, since I didn't even go to the college from monday to friday before. However, I needed the evenings strictly for myself. Don't get me wrong, I had a good laugh there and I enjoyed the company of the others, but it was also exhausting. Going to a bar after those days would have been too much.

That's EXACTLY what i told her...verbatim! I dont think she's really serious about quitting her profession though, but my mom takes it for face value and vents to me about it.
Oh, and i hear you about the evening "me time". I'm actually the same way when i have a heavy people-contact set up, like i do now.

A friend once told me your job can offer one of three essential things-
1) Good Pay
2) Opportunity for career advancement
3) Fulfillment / Satisfaction (to include optimal socialization, or lack thereof)
If you have two of the three, you're doing very well, and should utilize your free time to gain the missing third item.
Usually, a job is a toss up between #1 and #3, but not always.
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?- Matthew 6:30
What your friend said is stupid
What you say seams more reasonable but depends what you concern a good pay

Your contribution would be appreciated.

It's also a kind of forced interaction. I don't really feel like that if I'm doing something similar with people I 100% get along with.

Well, you're an extrovert. Isn't socionics awesome? It explains everything!

I also want some people contact at work actually it's very important for me so I can understand your sister. Masseur would be to close people contact for me though.My sister (self-typing EII) has a similar set-up, doing software engineering, and is throwing around the idea of quitting her decent-paying job and becoming a masseuse.
