This post was so helpful. I have been a real estate agent for 20 years. In the midst of that occupation, I tried a couple of W-2 gigs and felt trapped. It wasn't necessarily even the job itself, but the environment. I enjoy getting to know people and have always found positive humor to be a great addition to any situation. Those didn't allow much flexibility for the gregarious side of me to flourish. And I've found real estate to be uncomfortable mostly because I felt people had much higher expectations of me than I could come close to fulfilling. I'm transitioning to working in business development because the projects are shorter and the expectations are remarkably less. I appreciate hearing other 7s' experiences. Looking forward to this new venture!
