Hi, I'm seeking a bit of advice from other INFJs or those familiar with this type on what would be a not so miserable part time job for me, an INFJ. I've already completed two and a half years of undergraduate work on my general Psych B.A., but I'm taking some time off for this Fall semester to reorganize myself since last semester didn't go over too well for me. Long story, which I don't really feel like sharing at the present time. I really despise the thought in having to do work which isn't conducive to the typical INFJ vision of doing something meaningful etc, but my Dad will not put up with me introspecting around the house like I did this past summer and already leading well into Fall.
My choices do seem rather limited, with the U.S. economy being the way it is and my personal stance on refusing to work when my feelings on doing something meaningful aren't being met. Nowadays working a retail job or fast food seems to what most people do when they aren't in school and/or lack a degree. Even just thinking about me working at a McDonalds completely disgusts me; not only because I'm a vegetarian but also because the repetitiveness of it and dealing with money all day could not be more dull to me. Doing math of any sort, even basic arithmetic, really gets under my skin. I can do it, it just doesn't come natural to me and typically feels hard pressed. That's why I always take a sigh of relief when I didn't have to be the Banker in Monopoly. Sounds childish, probably, but that's me. I'm not sure if any other INFJs have that uneasy tendency dealing with money... I dunno, just makes me feel like the biggest materialistic cop out in the world.
Even so, I need a job and kind of feel a need to show my Dad I'm not just lounging around the house, sucking up his money for groceries and a free ride, at the expense of my own laziness. But I would really appreciate your guys' help on this one. Maybe share your own experience in what part time jobs worked for you in the past and ones that didn't; whatever you want to say, really. I'm trying to keep a promise to myself to get a part time job before October but feel at a loss for what works for most people of my type and so on.
Thanks in advance.
