what should I be when I grow up?

<p>I’m a rising college junior, and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of possible career fields; I’m an English major.</p>

<p>My prof says that I’m: “incredibly outgoing, friendly, good-natured, curious and thoughtful […] good in a sort of management/marketing/human relations kind of field–one who gets to talk to people, work with people, write and plan, and encourage people to do things good for them”</p>

<p>Which specific jobs sound like they would fit this description?</p>

<p>Human resources staffer.</p>

<p>An Evangelical minister.</p>

<p>Wow — after almost 5,000 posts you don’t know yourself well enough to make a few recommendations to yourself. How can that be, or are you spoofing us…</p>

<p>ncmentor, my posts had more to do with getting into college, not my interests and career options.</p>

6

<p>A firetruck.</p>

7

<p>You should work on Dick Cheney’s public relations team.</p>

<p>that prof rec seemed pretty generic, almost like a standard recommendation letter where he just changed the name of the student, haha. There comes a time when you need to decide for yourself. I mean, come on, you say you’re an English Major and you know a professor well enough to write you a rudimentary recommendation. Not exactly in-depth knowledge of your personal/academic/professional life.</p>

<p>If you work hard maybe you can become a polysaccharide.</p>

<p>I don’t know why everyone here’s being such a ******. I just asked a simple question on some possible career options.</p>

<p>This isn’t rocket science, but apparently it seems to be because no one can answer it. Guess yall aren’t as smart as I thought.</p>

<p>After being on CC for five years, one would think you would know the type of responses to expect from people here.</p>

12

<p>Seriously, haha</p>

<p>Fine, I’ll give you a serious response: Porn director and co-star.</p>

<p>Your post is too wide open - almost everyone could fit into “your a nice person” categories. That doesn’t tell us anything about who you are, never mind tell us about what you should be. </p>

<p>You can if you want real feedback give a Very Detailed description or of course you could see your guidance counselor and start with a battery of interest tests.</p>

<p>I don’t think people were trying to be a bunch of *****, it’s just that the way you phrased the question didn’t make anyone think you were looking for a serious answer, because no one could answer such an open ended question about someone we have no info about… Hope that helps</p>

<p>Marketing or college professor.</p>
