Which Is The Best Job For Me?

Which is the best job for me? How to find the best job for me?

There are fundamentally 4 types of activities:
1. Working with Things
2. Working with People
3. Working with Information
4. Working with Ideas

Based on this, we can classify jobs also into 4 types. No job is a 'pure' job – ie, involving only one type of activity. Every job is a 'mixed' job: involving all the 4 types of activities – but in differing quantities. And in every job, one of the 4 types of activities will predominate. Thus there are fundamentally 4 types of jobs.

Different people enjoy doing different types of activities. Some enjoy working with things, some enjoy working with people, etc. So there are fundamentally 4 types of people:
1. Thing-workers
2. People-workers
3. Information-workers
4. Idea-workers

So the key to happiness is to:
1) Find out which type of activity we enjoy doing
2) Do a job in which that type of activity predominates.
