From the Omniverse Union thread. Orange would be appricated not bringing in Adolf this time.

Maybe we can start a nice, clean new thread? Of course by we, I mean you.The board software just deleted my painstakingly written post. Ah well, a good reason for brutal revision.

s0523 has written what I believe to be a more insprational explanation of the reason.

This post is the course of action.

I believe we would have great use for a pooling of our knowlege. Anyone reading the careers thread knows one of our great plights.

What I propose is that we create a structure in which one can research information on careers from the essential INTP point of view.

Follows an outline.

We could create a special forum section with specific criteria for discussion. (Also with tighter rules for staying on topic http://forums.intpcentral.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) From this thread people submit careers they have tried with specific vital information such as Pay range/stablity/hours/stress along with their personal experiance noting the pro AND the con. The careers that are selected from this thread taken and written into a page/paragraph of information noteing why or why not it might be good for an INTP with a summary at the top including fields such as Pay/hours. Then this (unfinished) career information would be shown in a thread created specificly for it where people could discuss corrections and improvments. After this it would be taken and given it's own page with a link to it on a page that brings all the careers together for easy browsing. Another feature it could include would be links to personal experiances of the career written by people who submit them specificly for this purpose. Perhaps even a 1-10 rating with a system averaging the ratings out of all the personal experiences.

This is only one facet of what we could accomplish. That is unless every one is content on going from unenjoyable job to unenjoyable job.

I truly believe this could work, and would be to great benifit.

How about Goebbels? Hess? Himmler? Quite a bunch of real level headed guys, you know? Hard to avoid talking about them. Btw, what a J idea. Booorring (Not Goering).

You forget Orange, that INTPs do not mind mess provided that it does not get in the way.

I would say that currently we are held back by hyper disorganization.
Constructive comments appricated.

You would have to hope that everyone tells the truth. When it comes to age, physical fitness, income and sexual superiority many people tend to fudge the truth.

By fudge the truth I mean if everyone on these forums were correct in their descriptions and we were ever to have a get-together in New York City the planet would suddenly implode from the strain of so much concentrated beauty in one area. All that would remain of our civilization would be some luggage from JFK spinning into a newly formed black hole.

People in the careers thread have been honest as I can see about low pay and not enjoying their jobs. In any case we would not request numbers as those would vary by area. Simply rough ranges or tendancys of pay.

I think that happened in booyalab's bathroom when she put some eyeshadow on. But it only sucked the bathtub into the nether world before she realized what was going on, and washed her face. Clever girl.

Don't let the naysayers slow you down, Ascending. I can't imagine that if you proceed as outlined, many peeps will not only contribute, but find the organized info to be of value and great interest.

Truthfully? My constructive criticism is "just start it." A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. (MUCH easier said than done.) I'm thinking that maybe all we need right now is simply a forum under "Shrink's Sofa" for "Careers: Discuss INTP career experiences and aspirations."

If we had this, I would try and refocus on a brainstorming of idealized careers myself, and not yet worry about specifics or grounding... at this point I'd just enjoy seeing ideas generated. But I will be glad to do my part for the "INTP career library." Let me know if I can help in any way.

In all honesty, I think the easiest way for you to attract participation might be creation of some online poll, either on this site or on your own.

I hate polls, but you will get information fast.

How you correlate the data will be up to you though.
