Job Search... Taxi Driver?

I've been job hunting.   My om drove Taxi for YEARS, and now I'm thinking of doing it myself.

Why?

Well...    I'm an INFJ personality type in the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator.   About 1% of the population has this personality type, it is the rarest one.  We are your writers, artists, book worms, loner scientists, counselors, etc.  

We are introverted, and we like jobs where we work alone.  Meaning we are the only employee present most of the time.  Or jobs that deal with empathy and helping people.  So you're either gonna find us in "helping" jobs, like:

* Medical (doctor, nurse, P.A., etc.)
* Counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.
* Social Work

Or jobs where we mostly work independent / by ourselves a lot, such as:

* Driver-- Taxi, chauffeur, bus, delivery, etc.
* Writer / editor
* Artist / usician
* Maintenance 
* Dispatcher
* Security patrol
* Motel clerk
* Librrian
* Toll booth attendant
* Data Entry
* Work from home
* Teacher, coach, instructor
* Small shop clerk 
* Very small office, only one receptionist
* Lab technician
* Accountant 

Honestly, INFJ's usually HATE jobs with lots of other co-workers buzzing around us all the time, or our boss walking by every minute.  We are just VERY good at independent work, we function and perform best that way.  And as you can see from the list above, there is certainly a need for such people.  

I spoke to some Taxi drivers in town today.  They say they love their job, this is not a dangerous town.  They are full time, so with tips, they make like $700 a week.   You don't always start out full time, but after you do well and they like you, it usually moves up.   They told me to go switch my CA license to a PA one and go apply!  lol.  

So I guess I will :)
