"a man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it" ~ Francis Bacon

Because ENTPs have so many interests, we can excel in almost any field. From science to law to business to advertising, analytical and unique minds are always in demand. Narrowing our interests and determining under what conditions we work best is the dilemma. ENTPs operate most effectively in an environment where they can use their creativity and are highly stimulated. A job that involves repetitive tasks would be a poor fit. Freedom and passion for the occupation are the only guidelines for choosing a profession as an ENTP. Although endless lists exist for ENTP careers, I chose to pick out a few interesting ones to profile. Psychodrama therapist – A psychoanalyst who uses creative arts to help those who have trouble expressing themselves or have other mental or physical impairments. ENTPs see this as using interests such as dance, drama, or music in a unique way to solve problems. Teacher – ENTPs engage students with their enthusiasm and constant flow of new ideas for how to present information. Urban/regional planner – A love of visualizing problems, forming solutions, and defending them allows ENTPs to do extremely well in any planning profession. Political analyst – Research oriented and argumentative, ENTPs have an aptitude for all careers in politics. Physician – The ability and preference to work independently, in varying situations, and with other people make ENTPs uniquely suited for medicine. Politics and medicine appeal to my interests the most. I had no desire to enter medicine until I began anatomy class. The visual and hands-on nature fascinated me. Even though the other necessary pre-med courses are a constant source of frustration, I still enjoy and appreciate the general concepts in biology and chemistry. The constantly active environment and continual learning combined with a genuine interest would form an enjoyable and successful career. Politics have always been extremely compelling to me. My sister and I were probably the only two viewers of The West Wing under the age of 11. Solving problems theoretically through argument is how I thrive. I would not want to run for office, but I would enjoy analyzing and commenting on the process. I haven’t quite figured out how to do this, but that is why I am keeping my options open. Other possibilities include lawyer, statistician, stock broker, venture capitalist, talk show host, consultant, actor, professor.
