What is the perfect career for me based on my personality?
In the following, I want to tell you about myself.
“You should become an architect,” a curvaceously hot chick said to me after examining my portfolio of buildings and other artworks. Sometime before the hot chick scenario, a dude, who was the greatest athlete (according to his awards and wins) of the school, mentioned to my peers, “He (I) will be on the cover of Forbes magazine.” “…The student of the year award goes to,” one of the teacher announced, “John Bytheway (my pseudonym).” Out of all the great things that happened to me, I also had plenty of failures and flaws. For instances, I did not graduate high school with an Honor Diploma. My weighted GPA was below 4.0. Lastly, I am a low self-esteem kid who has an unhealthy social life. To conclude, I want the perfect career that fits my personality.
I want to become a millionaire. Ever since I was young, I wanted to drive a nice car(s) and live in a big house (mansions). When a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Mercedes drove by, I always stared and imagined what it would be like to drive such cars. I used to lived adjacent to a law firm. Everyday, I saw BMWs, Porches, and Mercedes. I told my mother that I wanted to be like those lawyers. While walking from the bus stop to my house one day, I looked up at a glamorously superficial condominium. I desired to live there. It looked so expensive and materialistic.
When I was a kid, I always took challenges such as swimming naked in deep rivers, exploring terra incognita (according to the general population), and climbing tall trees. I want more of those. I want to jump out of an airplane and accelerate towards the Earth; I want to feel the terminal velocity (Of course, I also want to pull the parachute before I land.); I want to tie a rope to my feet and jump off a cliff; I want to summit the tallest mountain. There is nothing like jumping out of your comfort zone and stop thinking and worrying about the hectic life. It is so much fun to let go of your thoughts.
My feet had been stepped only on three countries. Living in the United States for seven-and-a-half year is irksome. I want to step outside of this soil and visit all of the seven continents. I want to see the northern (or southern) light; I want to summit the Pyramid of Giza; I want to visit the palace of Taj Mahal; I want to ride a motorcycle along the trail of the Great Wall; I want to make out with a French prostitute on the Eiffel tower; I want to dance on the beaches of Mexico with beautiful women; I want to boat along the river of Amazon and explore the jungle; I want to travel the world.
During the beginning of my sophomore year at high school, me and my family was evicted out of our apartment. That experience changed the course of my life. My mother had to call her friend, who lived near by, and we had to live with her. We (me, my mother, and my elder brother) shared the living room, while the host family shared the single bedroom. They took us under their wings. They were really nice people. They cooked everyday and always asked us to eat with them. (The husband used to be a Buddhist monk.) Before my sophomore year, I always performed bad in school. All of my report cards were a bowl of C’s, D’s, and F’s. I did occasionally get an A or two, and I was really happy. One day, on the first quarter of my sophomore year, the report came out. My science teacher stared at my report card and said, “Wow.” He then handed it to me. I was the only one in class whom received straight A’s. From then one, I get a couple more of all A’s report cards.
The straight A’s report cards introduced me to one thing that I truly love. That true love of mine is neither women nor money, although they are possible candidates for my future love life. My true, may be even the unconditional, love is (drum roll) Education. I truly love Education. The period that I lived with the divine family, I learned that education is the thing that will make me successful (financially and everything else), happy, and a good person of the society. The Goddess, Education, gave me wings and taught me how to fly (Please don’t use the quotation without citing.).
This love of mine, steered me into pursuing a Bachelor’s degree. I never thought in my life that I would be going to college. Yet I will be attending a university this upcoming fall.
When I go to college, I want to study architecture, business, or engineering. I want to study architecture, because I deem that I am good at the subject. When people cannot go to sleep, some of them counts sheep; some of them counts numbers. Unlike them, I visualize shapes and imagine ways to put them together in order to create a harmony of beauty and function. People have told me that I should be an architect. Sometimes, I just want to work in a bank or be a CEO. Some of the reasons are: money (greed), power, and leadership. Like I said, I want to be a millionaire. I guess I can say that money and power are related
I also want to lead. I feel that responsibility and the power to lead without abusing shape an ordinary man into extraordinary.
The subject of money led me into investing. I have a dream that I am a tycoon in a field of investment, whether it’s stock, real estate, foreign currency, or alternatives. I just feel like I want to rule the stock market.
There are some people I like; there are some I don’t like; but I get along with them well. However, I feel that I should break off from the society sometime and work independently as an entrepreneur (just for developing ideas), inventor, or scientist. I feel like getting away and live on a deserted place.
I always thought that greed is my biggest sin, and lust is my second biggest. Turns out, lust might be my biggest sin. A few months ago when I attended in high school, I looked at many beautiful women and wanting to have intercourse with all of them. I do not prefer which one. Black, white, yellow, fat, skinny, whatever, as long as they
are attractive to me, I want them all. The furthest thing I got from a girl was a friendly cuddle (ugh).
Although I may be an idealist (not much of a realist) and a total pervert (may be a creep), I do want to get married and have a few children. There are some girls in my mind that I truly like, but I never get a chance to really know them. I never have the materials to take them out on a nice date. I think that might have to do with me wanting to become a millionaire. May be it isn’t greed after all that makes me want to be rich, but the desire to meet new people; may be it just me wanting to find the love greater than Education.
I admit that I am a superficial and greedy pervert, but that is not for you to judge. I am asking for your help in order to determine what are some careers for me based on my personality, failures, successes, and skills.
good luck..
