Not completely true.

Am an introvert and I am

A Teacher
Comedian/Event Anchor
Decorator
Singer
Wedding Engagement Coordinator (ALAGA IJOKO/IDURO)

I guess am able to switch easily especially as a comedian/MCee and most especially as ALAGA IJOKO/IDURO (if u attend Yoruba Introduction/Engagement ceremony) You will understand.

My brother, things we do for money

Abi Aw I wan do Wen client don pay advance and I don use am, na to perform for balance remain na

The OP just wanted to write what he doesn't Understand. One of the most comic actors in Nigeria is Charles Inojie but you can hardly find someone who is more introverted than him off camera.

@ Op I am an introvert and i can do some of this things you listed if not all of them.. change is a constant thing in life you can't just hide in the shadow of an introvert and say things . i know talk is cheap but if you put your mind to anything in life you shall surely succeed.
at a point in life you'll have to be an extrovert . . come out of your shall and do what u haven't done before. #peace

Journalism is not for extrovert

ednut1:
I hear u, i hate anything marketing and i avoid it like a plague. Bt i was once posted to a marketing role for 4 months, wetin i for do? Resign abi. But i performed well, the joy of going to diff companies to met high networth peeps to seal deals is out of this world. Face ur fears or u may never know ur full capacity/ability

Nice

someone already said this before and it's worth repeating: introverted does not equal antisocial. if you're so "introverted" that you cannot do any of these jobs at all, then even your daily life will suffer and your quality of life Will be lower than it should be.

I like the list, though.

introvert everywhere ;-D -

Wrong! Most entertainers are introvert. Read Tim Lahaye's book "Why you act the way you do"

if correct suffering wire ur life, u go know say u fit do any work, introvert or extrovert. suffering unlocks hidden potentials and even creates new abilities. ;Dif correct suffering wire ur life, u go know say u fit do any work, introvert or extrovert. suffering unlocks hidden potentials and even creates new abilities.

@OP this is very ridiculous and stupid who says that being an introvert makes it impossible to succeed in any of these things . Am an introvert and over 10 years and counting am I have been running a business and its a very successful one. You say an introvert cant make a good doctor . let me tell you medicine is the best career choice for an introvert because he or she will connect and empathise with his or her patients. The Extroverts we have as doctors are the ones who make a mess of public hospitals with their rude attitude and the fact that they seem to show less concern towards their patients. Don't joke with an introvert because he or she can show you the best and great qualities of themselves when they need to . Being an introvert doesn't make you less of a human being or doesn't make you less successful . I know many introverts who have succeeded in all these career and are still rocking .

are you implying that introverts are useless.

on point.

Op there is no truth in this topic . Iam an introvert and did marketing for 5 years with 2 different companies. Today a run a successful business. And I also did a bit of politics while in school. Please research well before you mislead people

lacasera14:
yea you are probably a blend. 80% introvert and 20% extrovert. You can do them too but I doubt if you'll succeed in it

I don't agree with you on no. 5. There are different tyoes of businesses. So saying introverts aren't good in business means they can hardly be successful . At a point in life, many people will become business owners.

Bullshate.... Dumb thread This is a clear attack on introverts, so phucking glaring. Many introverts are doing fine in those careers you listed up there, even far better than extroverts. Dumb op, i no blame you sha, na copy you copy.

Teaching
Comedian

Lots of comedians and actors are introverts in real life. Even many good teachers.

I have seen introverts doing all the jobs. Successfully too.

Though some jobs might come more naturally to extroverts.

Must people just write? Being an introvert, no matter the type does not mean you are restricted to embark on any endeavour. It only means you need to recharge after taking part in some activities such as socialising. Just stop the guess work and stop writing just anything.

Yeah True.. I lost ma job just yesterday 07-01-2017, 'coz I'm an Introvert... I dnt relate... Hw bad

Op i concur but i am into business with good and trustworthy managers managing my business quote author=lacasera14 post=52613588]Being an introvert is a lot more trouble by
default, from people miscontruing your
silence and quiet disposition for an awful
snub to people thinking you are too full of
yourself or you are so weird. You don’t
want to compound issues for yourself by
towing a career path meant for gregarious
extroverts? Do you? I didn’t think so either.
So except you want to become an extrovert
overnight, here are top 5 Jobs or Careers
you should avoid.
Caveat: this list are for 100% introverts
with no extroverted tendencies whatsoever. As we all know, some people are actually a blend of
the both temperaments.


1. MARKETTING: This jobs is quite tasking
even the outgoing type gets depleted by it
occasionally, you don’t want to be found
here trust me. You are bad at relating with
strangers, you find it difficult to smile
without a reason and to crown it all you
are a pessimist which means you have no
option than to fail at this, so no matter how
juicy and tempting the price is; never
venture into it. Asides from you being a
loser, plunging into depression is certain.
You are an introvert.


2. MEDICINE: Granted, you are well endowed
with intellect and you can concentrate for
long hours reading, you have few friends,
you rarely socialize so books are your best
buddies but you see being a doctor or
nurse demands more than that even though
studying is the most imperative. The warm
smiles, the jovial attitudes, the lively and
fun personalities of the extroverts do have
a psychological effect on patients whether
you choose to believe it or not and you
clearly don’t possess any of these
qualities. You might turnout to be a great
Doc or nurse but don’t be surprised when a
patient gets a heart attack because of that
constant scowl on your face.


3. ACTING: So you use to act playlets way
back as a kid and no doubt you are
talented, you now feel acting is the way to
go, sorry friend, it’s a wrong call you about
to make. you could act back then because
you are in a familiar environment and you
are less nervous around the people you
know. Acting as a career will not give you
that familiar audience to show your talent.
What if you hit stardom? How do you
handle the limelight attentions, interviews,
exposure and some of the hazards that
come with being a celebrity. Well since you
have a knack for depression, what
becomes of you when your daily life is
being dissected and misconstrued by the
public via social media on a daily basis?
I’m looking at a scenario where you call it
quits at the peak of your acting career
because of depression and the public
poking into your dear private life which is
such a shame if you ask me. So better
don’t go in.


4. POLITICS: Why should you be thinking of
this when you are a greenhorn at cheer
leading and you are socially incapacitated.
If you manage to pull through in all the
numerous campaign outings and you are
finally elected be it at any level of politics,
how many ceremonial invitations that
requires your presence and functions are
you going to turn down on the grounds of
emotionally drained batteries? Or perhaps
you want your deputy to steal the show
and probably buy the hearts of legislators
to impeach you. Politics requires an
outgoing charisma, a flair for unionism and
a love for limelight. So it doesn’t matter if
you have the passion to liberate your
people from the shackles of whatever that
has held them bound or you have big
dreams of making your constituency
enviable, you lack the temperament for it.
If the drive is so strong on your inside, you
can ally with a sociable person that you
can influence or walk your way to being
appointed as a special adviser in a relevant
field.


5. BUSINESS : Being successful in business
demands the risk taking habits of socially
inclined people not the pessimic nature of
introverts who will first look at the cons
before the pros. They suffer from
uncertainty and indecision which will in the
long run jeopardize chances of major
breakthrough in business. Since you often
lack self motivation, any storm in business
might throw you off balance causing you to
probably give up too soon and plunge into
depression or make you seek for
alternatives abandoning the present
course. Your low social life also affects
your interaction with customers, people
would prefer to rather patronize a friendly
person’s business rather your withdrawn
introverted self. Most of the crumbled
businesses you see around are as a result
of some introverts who got doomed by
their own temperaments because they
treaded the wrong path.


In conclusion it is salient to know your
strengths and weakness and go for what
works you. Your passion should be your
fuel in the drive to success. Good luck!!!

So u nor wan make i open business for this buhari economy
Op why arr u wishing me bad this 2017 like this na

Op you don't know anything about introvert. The only thing i feel uncomfortable with in your list is marketing

lacasera14:
There are introverts that are a combination of melancholy and phlegmatic temperaments those are the ones I'm referring to, they are extremely dull naturally, don't smile without a reason and are socially withdrawn. There are introverts that are also a blend of melancholy and sanguine too. read my caveat, I specifically mentioned the later as my focal point. so all of you claiming to do all these successfully are not fully introverted, you all are blends of either choleric or sanguines. Tim lahaye's book about temperament should you a bit. it's a must read for everyone.

zip it dude. .. Your thinking faculty needs to be check. who are you to tell anyone that he can't succeed in a thing? because you can't succeed in those professions you stated , doesn't mean others won't. introverts are often the best when it comes to relating with people.... If you are extremely dull as you stated above, then you are not an introvert but a slowpoke.

Before I proceed, please be aware that am not attacking you, at least not aggressively...

1) Are you an introvert? If yes, how did you know? And if an 100% introvert, how did you know you are? If not, then either you refer us to the person who wrote the article, or you answer this question: do you think it is fair that a person from a different perspective speak for another group and make it fact rather than see from theirs?

2) The Tim Lahaye, I respect him, but it's either you (or someone) misinterpreted his book, or he is wrong to make an assumption on behalf of more than 7 billion people in the world based on some few thousands he researched. Or maybe he really didn't make it fact, his theory is "if people have one tendency to do this, then they are more likely to have more tendencies to do that"

3) I would have supported your post a little ... if it didn't make some wrong assumptions that people having over the years always had about introverts (once again, are you one?)

1. MARKETTING: ....
You are bad at relating with strangers, you find it difficult to smile
without a reason and to crown it all you
are a pessimist which means you have no
option than to fail at this

but sir, why didn't you tell me options are finished, my igbo brothers can manufacture new ones

2. MEDICINE: ....
The warm
smiles, the jovial attitudes, the lively and
fun personalities of the extroverts do have
a psychological effect on patients whether
you choose to believe it or not and you
clearly don’t possess any of these
qualities.


"clearly" abi? Please the writer should send us his personal goggles, maybe then I will clearly see where I lost my N20 I wanted to buy groundnut with the other day.

3. ACTING: ....

How do you
handle the limelight attentions, interviews,
exposure and some of the hazards that
come with being a celebrity. Well since you
have a knack for depression, what
becomes of you when your daily life is
being dissected and misconstrued by the
public via social media on a daily basis?
I’m looking at a scenario where you call it
quits at the peak of your acting career
because of depression and the public
poking into your dear private life which is
such a shame if you ask me


seriously?

4. POLITICS: ....

Why should you be thinking of
this when you are a greenhorn at cheer
leading and you are socially incapacitated


you don't mean it, tell me more

5. BUSINESS
Being successful in business
demands the risk taking habits of socially
inclined people not the pessimic nature of
introverts who will first look at the cons


what is the pessimic nature you keep talking about, is it a type of food, a skin color, is it something people are born with, is it an atomic bomb... it sounds pretty terrible God whyyyyyy.... why did you create me like this... so you mean am stuck as a worker and I can never be an entrepreneur, you mean I can't achieve my dreams because I have a "personality handicap"


In conclusion, being an introvert, even 100%, is not an handicap.
An extrovert can and will also fail in these professions if they don't do well.
And guess what, from my personal experience, what I've seen others, and research I made which you can also make... three strengths (among others) of an introvert are writing, speaking and acting... and creativity. As a matter of fact, an introvert is more likely to succeed at anything if they put their mind to it.

Hay, guess what, Bill Gates and Nelson Mandela are introverts... don't argue this one, I have their books on my table here.

So in the end, just admit that you copied the post from somewhere... and we can all be friends again
before the pros

Anyone can succeed in any career choice introvert or not if there's a God factor and God in his diverse creations made everyone different and unique, some are ambivalent (50% intro 50%extro) vert, some are 80% 90% introverts and the remaining percent are made up of extroverted traits. Those are the only exceptions. So if your entertainers are mostly introverts then they are a blend of both.

but I no grew with number two. Many doctors I know that knows their onions don't talk to much. They just listen to you then write prescription. During surgery self they focus on their job.

most doctors are introverts, believe me.

Don't tell me what you think I cannot do.
Rather...
Ask me what I think I cannot do.

There are no limitations for those who are poised on challenging themselves and the status quo.
