I am a landscape architect, which is probably more INTJ, but I have been assuming a more project managerial role in the office lately, which seems to suit me fairly well. It is a broad enough field to enjoy a few different types of people.

My career aptitude tests in college said I should be (in order of preference)

stage performer
teacher
investigator
law enforcement officer
wildlife manager
baker

I guess that's only really because the test doesn't bother to match
people for what the market has determined my skills are in demand
for at this point;

janitor
file clerk
fast food cashier

Maybe I'd have got that on the test I forgot to take in grad school?

Deep down, I'm a house-husband and (decidedly secondary!) some
kind of composer.

Programmer during the week / Photographer on weekends. Totally balanced LEFT BRAIN / RIGHT BRAIN. Does that fit?

Executive director for a skilled nursing facility and assisted living campus. I manage about 130 employees in a highly-regulated and challenging environment where I have responsibility for the healthcare of about 150 precious frail elderly patients 24/7. Yep, works for me.

I'm an event planner and usually manage the team. I also work part-time in retail for the fun of it and people always think I manage the place... since I am doing that for fun, it doesn't bother me being the peeon, and I get to talk to people the entire time :)

Artist , inventor, philanthroper, meglomaniac

(according to some...who cares what they think HA their just puppets!)

but then again I am an XNTX ...so I am only part entj.

What I find interesting is how as a "classic" ENTJ, I float to the top very quickly when I join an organization. I am currently experiencing this, as I have been in my current company for less than two years and am approaching my third major promotion. I am entering a purely marketing management position, leapfrogging people who have been working here for years. I know that my cumulative experiences have prepared me for it, and I can't wait to get started.

Bottom line - the current population I work with hated me for the first promotion, another leapfrog, and resented me for the second promotion, but now my manager himself dislikes the fact that HIS boss has put me up for the promotion working for corporate. I guess the fact that I will have several people reporting to me that are above his own position now stings a bit. I wonder if they all think I'm sleeping my way to the top. Oh well, if I was then I guess I'd be doing a good job of it. Fortunately, I haven't had to stoop to that level - I'm just very good at making my executives look good, and marketing myself as an asset.

Throughout my career I have had, as most ENTJs can identify with, the gift of organizational vision combined with the belief that only I have the true answer for how to see it to fruition. There have been many years where I knew my approach to business was drastically different than the status quo, but as my husband pointed out, it always plays to my benefit. I have become more comfortable with it over time. Risk has never scared me, as long as it is calculated. The payoff has been consistent on an executive level, but I am not popular with the type of people that think I should have to "pay my dues" like everyone else. I prefer to "go for it", and they prefer to stand by the wall and wait for someone to ask them to dance. You want to dance? Get on the dancefloor. And don't forget to wear your boogie shoes.

I am a market analyst, seems to fit pretty well, except I wish I had more leadership involved. I love the analytical part of my job. I also like to see results immediately. My molecular biology education didn't quite work out - no way I will wait 10s of years for results that I barely have any control over.

I considered counseling/psychology as a career. I think I still might do it one day...

I went into the Marines fresh out of high school and ended up excelling quite a bit, by being in many, many leadership roles while going through boot camp. But, I was unfortunate to have to be medically discharged with Erroneous. I would have been one kick ass Marine.

I became a professional in the commercial transportation industry at the age of 21. Yes, a truck driver. I was my own boss and made my own decisions and went home when I wanted to. I became a trainer for a few years and taught students to become truck drivers as well. I was very fortunate to have this career as I always felt very free and was able to do much of what I wanted to do at any moment I wanted to do it. I picked up a load in Seattle and drove it to New York. I was long haul, 48 states and I had the time of my life. I would definitely recommend it to any ENTJ. Get a CDL and go see the states. Simply unforgettable.

Was a photographer.
Now a banker.
Still looking for the passion.
Running my own business got to be a drag. No health plan, etc. the details of marketing oneself.
Banking pays the bills. Can be quite complex but for the most part, too many rules and people unwilling to take a chance.
I'm looking hard at Marketing.
