Sagittarians are the intellectual type. It’s easy for them to learn about new things. Thus, they can get bored easily. They’re the adventurous people who are not afraid of taking risks. It won’t be a surprise for this person to switch jobs everytime they see fit (meaning when they get tired of the what they’re doing which can happen all the time or until they find the perfect job for them). The archer is known to aim for high goals but no matter how much they make or how high the position is, if they feel they’re getting caged in they will look for something else. Below is a brief explanation and tips of what you can do If you’re a Sagittarian and are unhappy of your current career (or finding it hard to figure out what your next career move is) or if you work with a Sagittarian and would like to improve your work relations with him/her.
Figure out what you are good at and what you love doing.
Because a Sagittarian has a lot of interests they also have a lot of big ideas and they are very optimistic about these. They won’t mind investing all the time and resources they have for a certain project. A lot of Sagittarians are entreprenuers so they get into their own businesses and most of them succeed on this. Having a good grasp of the bigger picture might also help them be good managers. They see the big picture and then share it with the team so they can work on it. It won’t be hard as Sagittarians are natural born teachers. They are good at interacting with people and they have the patience to explain their ideas to them. That being said, Sagittarians can also be teachers and writers. The archer loves challenges. He wouldn’t mind a bit of pressure (as a matter of fact, he is good under pressure) because he likes finishing things he already started. He is very active and also love the out-doors so a career in sports, travel or tourism might be suitable.
To sum that up, the more active Sagittarians lean on sports and traveling/tourism, where they can meet people and move around a lot. On the other hand, the more intellectual types can go for more intellectual professions as trading, law and business.
Sagittarians as a boss.
Generally, Sagittarian bosses are easy to get along with. They are very generous when giving bonuses or a raise specially with employees who they know are working well. They can also be generous with time or deadlines and are very reasonable … most of the times. So if you’re having a hard time keeping up with the deadline he might just cut you some slack provided you have acceptable reasons. One bad side about a Sagittarian boss is that he can be stubborn and change his mind a lot. Specially when he gets one of his big ideas.
Sagittarians as an employee.
Sagittarians love being with people and working with people. He’s a very good team player. Being always happy and optimistic he will serve as an inspiration or a morale booster for his fellow employees.
Some of the careers or prefessional fields that a Sagittarian could consider are: Entrepreneur, Teacher/Professor, Lawyer, Sales and Marketing, Writer/Journalist, Public Relations, Trader, Sports Instructor, Athlete, Travel Agent, Tourism related fields.
I for one know that we saggs would make killer. International Export/Import traders, I’m turning 22years and going for a job for experience and financial reasons, however, trading comes with benefits of learning different faculties, travelling, learning to attract investors- to invest in things that are best at heart for individuals sags believe, that’s how ill make a difference…my opinion
SOOO GLAD IT’S NOT JUST ME! You guys give me hope that I’m not the only one. So hard to choose what to do. I was going to be a lawyer, but then I said, well that’s too boring, went to a job where I was told what to do minute by minute. Hated that. So maybe acting works, no…musician, that sounds about right. Well, actually maybe it’s just the right kind of lawyer I need to be. But then teaching sounds good too! Anyway to do both? Ok, now I’m in my 30s so it’s time to make a decision. Oy!!!
I am a 34 year old about to be 35 on the 30th of
November. I have been married to a sweet man for 16 years and have three beautiful children. I have been everything from a teacher, a human resource generalist, an accountant, a buyer, and now a nurse. I am also working on my BSN with a minor in psychology. I love nursing, but I am wondering if nursing is going to be my career for the remainder of my life. I find myself getting bored at the beginning of each year. I honestly don’t know how my Pisces husband even manages to deal with me. Being a Sagg is a never ending adventure, but I am grateful that I am wonderfully made!
I’m a sag too and just landed a job as a flight attendant after many years of trying to find a career that didn’t suck!! Office work… BORING!! It’s really awesome getting to travel, meet and help people, and doing the demo haha! Although I work for a large corporation I still have tons of freedom, stability, and no manager breathing down my neck. It’s great!! Although I find my brain looking for something new to learn all the time. I get bored easily! Can anyone relate?
Well I wouldn’t say bored easily… Just easily distracted and thirsty for more!! 😉
Patrice, good luck!
As a sag, I am doing the right thing doing what I do. I teach English in China to Chinese kids, and I also work as a Gems Trader. I LOVE MY JOB!
Same Sag problem so many choices, I have worked in retail boring! Car dealerships boring, after my degree I wanted to be an accountant but after working in accounts for 1 year yep you guessed it bored again! It so hard to find something I want to do that pays well that I will enjoy for more than five minutes!!!!
hi..am a sagittarian..i’ve completed my graduation in this year 2011.i have been searching for a job from 6months.but my bad luck is still playing funny games with me..i dont know what is happening to me..the main problem is ”some times i want to do a software job,some times governament.i unable to judge which one suits me..as you said i’ll get boared if i do a job repeatedly..first of all tell me when i’ll get the job..and pls say which is the suits me..
im a sag and turn 23 soon, i honestly meet people and they learn a new thing about me every time they see me, ive had so many different lives already, including a fitness instructor, illustrator/painter, writer/poet, musician/songwriter, graphic designer, gymnast/dancer, photographer, i’m a makeup artist for m.a.c currently…i moved to the USA by myself when i was 18 and moved to london by myself when i was 21…i must say its hard to keep in touch with true friends and i find it pretty lonely at times..ive got a degree in digital photography and continue to be a freelance image retoucher on top of the makeup and photography whilst now dance training whenever i need to get a regular fix! now im worried what career i am really going to do..what i direction should i be going in? im all over the place! and i tend to box in my emotions and make myself stressed..im my own worst enemy..i thought about being an art director or creative director since ive got experience with all the softwares and different trends, cultures, skills etc…but i feel working in an office will kill me!! i want to travel aswell! ..how the hell do i choose?
i hate to be redundant, but after reading yall’s comments, it actually made me feel better about what i had been feeling for the past couple of years.
I’m 29, and am an energy trade analyst. at first the job was new and exciting to me, but after a couple of years, i’ve gotten a little bored of it. initially, i wanted to continue to climb to corporate latter and eventually become a energy trader, but even now im having doubts about it. yea the money will be great, but again im afraid ill get bored of it as well. i really need to sit down and have a aggressive conversation with myself and my career path.
again thanks everyone for posting, this really did make my day =)
i meant to say “i really need to sit down and have a aggressive conversation with myself and figure out my career path”
I never trust myself over one certain thing that ill stick to it forever, Im afraid i ll change mind again and again, and now I feel like fashion design. Yet, M not sure if i like it after 1 or 2 yrs. which career is the best for Sag?
LOL. It’s amusing, really, we sagittarians are almost alike.
Btw, my name’s Kira and i’m a student. I’ve a part time job as a mangaka (cartoonist). Before, I wanted to be a scientist, that was my ambition when I was a kid. But now, I really wanna be a Neurosurgeon. Medical and Science always attracts. It’s just very interesting, there’re so many amazing facts and informations.
But, deep in my mind, I’m thinking of saving enough money to travel around the world or open up a cafe. Sigh. I know I must try hard to achieve my goal, but thanks to my careless mistakes, my goal seems much more far away to grasp than before.
My new year resolution; Be a Pure Sagittarian. The successful one! Wish me luck. And I wish y’all the very good luck too. 😀
And I love books. Not boring ones, mind you. 😉
I love to read novels, I can’t travel around the world, yet. So I decided to travel mentally, instead. Reading the stories. It’s like i’m lving the characters’ life.
And one more thing that I noticed is we sagittarians don’t really know how or when to control our mouth, or wit. I always said things that I know are the truth, but somehow, people around me tends to get offended when I really only want to help. So I keep telling myself to shut up, it’s their problems not mine, ignore the errors, etc. But I just can’t stop. I just have to point it out. Silly me. Uncontrollable wit? Disaster. Foolish mistakes? Disaster. Keep my mouth shut? Almost impossible. (now i’m typing nonsense. –‘)
Like the quote taken from the clown (Twelfth night by Shakespeare);
“Better a witty fool than a foolish wit”
Hey All Saggs,
33 Jobs in 33 years ! Yes, no Bull!
Quite a ride! I could tell you stories!!!
Great to find friends for once!!!!
RR
I’m 28 and a Sag and can’t figure out what I wanna do for a living. I find a new job every 6 months. I hate being told when I have to come into work. I’m an artist and tried making a living with that but I live in a small town where the people aren’t very cultured. I even danced for a while. I loved and hated it. I loved being able to work whenever I wanted to and not having someone up my butt telling me what to do, but hated taking my clothes off. I love being a Sag but sometimes its hard lol 😉 I’m thinking about becoming a Bartender….
I’m a 37 year old mom. Now have done many things as most of you. Waitresses, nannied , Real Estate, and I’m in college now. I wanted to be a social worker, but now I’m having second thoughts. It seems that a challenge and varied are very key to the happiness of a Sagitarian. Another key element might be travel. I have a small child , so travel seems to be out.
I read that sag’s can be passive too, so maybe that where some of the hardship lies. good luck to all of you sag’s .
Let’s remember to trust our strengths and go for it.
I am a sag and currently a nursing student i think nursing is a good field for us becuz it is interesting and you can do it until you get bored or have your license revoked. however there are so many agencies where one could work as a nurse and be alternating but if you want to keep it interesting Id probably suggest ER nursing in a big city or trauma 1 level hospital….
LOL i’m a sag, like all these comments start! I quit my job always within the 3 month starting time because i get bored, or the boss annoys me! i’m currently undertaking a nursing degree and HATING EVERY MINUTE. The idea of caring appealed to me but now i’m here the job is the most boring structured job ever. and i hate boring and i hate structure. People lie about it being a challenging, and problem solving career. Its mindless and monkeys could do it (given with a little less empathy :P) But now i’m just totally screwed on where to go next!
Decided i’m going to do a HND in Journalism/media and become a travel writer. EXCITED.
I am 33 and also a sag. Reading all of your responses makes me smile because I am exactly on the same boat as you all. I have 2 Bachelor degrees in Science & Engineering and currently work as an engineer in a big corporation. Money doesn’t attrace mt at all because I am already BORED at work only after working 4 years in the industry and had just changed to a different group for half year. I do agree sag folks learn things quickly and hate politics. At least it happened to me. So, now I am enrolling to school again for nursing. LOL…..
Well im a sagg. I love being independent .i worked for wonder bread for 13 years it was a factory where we made the bread i hated it.they shut the factory down 3 years ago i got fired 2 years prior.i started selling bootleg cd and dvds.may not seem like its for everybody.however i like my freedom.now im tired of that while i was unemployed i learned how to play poker.now this is something i luv to do i planned to do this.until i find my next adventure
Mars in Sag and have had tons of jobs. I can’t even concentrate on what to look for anymore. I like SO much, how can I limit myself to one thing? I hate office jobs; I’ve determined that. Considered Pharmacy, teaching but don’t want to be around noisy kids all day, Love English but again Teaching.. would love to work in a Library but there aren’t any jobs in that. Loved reading all these comments!! no one else understands me and that caged feeling you get when working confined in a boring cubicle. What to do next??
Hi fellow sagii’s, wow thank u all so much for cheering me up.
For all this time I thought I was some kind of alien, since I’m
37 have many certificates and many job under my belt
& still no idea what I want to do with my life. After reading
Your blogs you’ve all made me feel so much better, I’m not alone
I guess we all just have to really think hard about
What we love & go for it & if it dosnt work then start again.
Maybe we’re ment to learn & do as much as we can on
Journey. Good luck to you all…
Hi, I’m a sag and I had no idea that I have been doing the things a sag likes to do. Yes, I have changed my mind and degree a few times. Right now I’m taking veterinary assistant classes and I love it. I’ve been working as a cashier for 3 years which I love my customers that come through. Now, I have been given the opportunity to work with medicine and people for the pharmacy. My fellow sags, stay positive Bc only our sign has the best intuition. If you find something that gives you that spark, please stick with it. There are many many open doors out there and sometimes it takes a positive smile and a little commitment.
I’m a legal secretary/ paralegal and I absolutely can’t stand where I’m at! I have thought about going back to school to be an elementary teacher or doing something with music instead as I do love playing/teaching piano with children. I find Law to be appealing in some areas but I can deal without the crazy amount of stress and paperwork that comes with it. I have also thought about doing something in the medical field but nothing to do with being a nurse like most of you have mentioned because I could not stomach giving someone a needle or learn about giving needles for that matter haha. I feel like my mind is all over the place and I get bored easily too. Wish I could get paid to sit my big ol butt on a white sandy beach on a Tropical Island with a drink in my hand, don’t we all. That’s a Sagittarius for ya I guess!.
Im also a sag… God Bless All of us with Good Job. To Us Its not just a Job we want to help people.
hey guys! reading to all these mks me feel a bit normal. as i always think why cant i stick to one thing and be contented. i just cant. even ive started new, i still wonder whats at the other site of the window im staring at.
i went on study IT, ended up being a HR,then a real estate agent, and now i went off a year to do a master that i dont even want to finish it. i felt like its not me not my thing and i dont want to do anything behind the desk anymore.
i could say i like people. from all those career ive been in doing HR gave me a bit of happiness. solving people problem and everything. i almost jump up happy when i found this article that totally describe me. phew. amazing!
till now i dont know what can i do. or what im good at. trying to find something in charity work. or maybe be a receptionist in a hotel.oh well, i spent most of my one year gap travelling. that says it all.
well, we r not so bad at all if u want to compare with other signs. every signs hv own strength. i hv an aquaries friend who dont like to meet people at all. she prefer to sit behind the desk n not meeting people. she likes to work with machines. there u go, thats the spot that we are all fillin in , aite 😉
i can sleep well now. thnks guys!! hahah ? ?
im a sag and im a college student as well. this article is so true i have changed my major 3 TIMES because i get bored easily. at first it was nursing then i changed it to history and then psychology but now it political science and i really think that this is the right major for me because i have a mouth on me (very opinionated) and i dnt agree with some of the things thats going on right now…soooooo lets see how this works out for
Hey! I’m a sag as well! 22 years old in school, and at first did not know what I wanted to do with my life. The thought of being a businessperson such as bank investors or managers interested me but most likely wouldn’t fulfill my ultimate needs. At a point in my life I wanted to be a Social Worker because I LOVE helping people, but realized the Salary doesn’t match the time and money it takes to get that degree. The career path that I had in my head from day one was Law Enforcement or Practice Law. Law Enforcement is dangerous but I’m a risk taker so that’s right up my alley. As a Sagittarius we change our minds a lot but we REALLY know what we want to do with our lives, we just like to take a taste of so many different things before we settle down with just one. Glad to know I’m not the only one that has had indecisive woes.
I’m a sag too, have been a pharmacist for over 10 years, I only work 3 days per week and have a week off every other week to explore. I think of a good paying job as source of assurance for my “hobbies” … flying, traveling, hiking, mountain climbing… you name it. Do I value money? No!! The only value it carries is its face value and it depreciates over time. Do I need money? Yes! because of the society we live in…
I switched from corporate business to the restaurant industry. I make half as much money, I spend all day on my feet feeding the group of people I used to be a part of. I gotta say, it feels good to do services for the general public. You want to be a happy Sagittarius? Get into a service industry.
Omg! So I’m NOT crazy! lol I’m just being me! I’m 25, graduated University two years ago, unemployed and unfulfilled. I have SO many things that I want to try, and i’ve changed my mind too many times to count. Everyone around me is frustrated with my “indecisiveness,” yet I was never really bothered by it. Yeah, I’m supposed to be “settled down” or in the process of, right now, but I don’t like conforming to societal rules and norms. I want to explore all of my passions and interest–and not be bored while doing so. Is that such a bad thing, really?
I’m a Sag & current work for the government but have been thinking of going to become a Physical Therapist. I have 1 degree in Crim. Justice (was going to do law school but got discourgaged with the price and testing). So, thinking of going back and taking the required science classes and then going for my Doctorate in PT….idk, I just know I’m tired of feeling confined and following the directions of the stupid government.
Hi All, I to am a Sag. and at 38 itching to find what will truly make me happy. Thinking of physical therapy, nursing, teaching, or hairdressing ( : Yup, just like the rest of you Sags. I’m all over the place. I just know I don’t like the constant monotony of my office job and I hate following dumb a88 direction.
I’m a sag as well! I love fashion, music, photography, makeup, about everything! But I ended up in nursing. And now I’m currently taking my masteral degree while doing some online business. I just love doing everything and sharing it with people I love. If I get depressed it means like I’m really down. But after a while, I’ll get back up and prove them my worth! Yes! Go sags!
Hey sags, yall are awesome even though we are indecisive as all get out. I went to college straight out of high school and majored in psychology, communication, business, and Spanish; made it 3 yrs only to move and my credits not transfer. Then on dead end job after the next. Did get the chance to work as a travel agent/ tour guide. LOVED it, hated the company I worked for. I always ended up being some bosses work horse (Because we are such hard workers and great multitaskers) and they never wanted to give me raises or promotions. So now I’m going back to school at 30 for a career in health wanting to learn everything from physical therapy to gerontology to personal training. Figure health is a good way to go that way when I get bored with one health field it’ll be an easy jump to the next one. Good luck all! And always go with your gut feeling, it’ll serve you well 😉
So love being a Sagittarian! Everything that’s posted here is true. I’m 40 something and still trying to figure it out…it doesn’t end people! LOL! My advise is just to enjoy the Sagittarius journey and write a book about it. My next move is self employment. I’ve had enough of corporate. Learned a lot. Self employment will sure keep me on my toes and there will never be a dull moment. Stay tuned fellow Sags!
Reading all your comments makes me realize that I’m not the only Sag so confuse in deciding on a career path. I already have a diploma in tourism but from the lack of jobs in that field here where I live I’ve decided on following another career, but I think I’ll will find it boring in the end and was thinking about nursing…But I don’t know…I guess my diplomas will have to pile up and dust 😛 …I just love my freedom!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only indecisive Sagittarius haha. I always figured I like people, I like money, and I like exciting challenges, so what the heck Ill become a salesman. Hell not just a salesman but THE salesman! A common trait that I’ve noticed about us Sag is the pain we feel when we get board and when someone tries to control us. It’s like pulling teeth, I’m getting out of that office!
I’m 27 years old and I’m trying to figure out what my true calling is. Maybe I’ll keep trying new things but if Walt Disney can be a ultra successful Sag than I’m inspired!
What I learned about me and my fellow Sagittarius:
Do what you love and dive in head first with utmost enthusiasm (until you get board lol) then move onto the next exciting adventure! I kinda feel like an old 80’s cartoon lol. “On the next exciting adventure of Sagittarius!!”
I am a sagittarian too. i loved your article…
Regards
Zodiac power rings
Hey, fellow Sags! For those of you still confused about your next move or your calling, how about investigating entrepreneurship? If you’re pursuing a business/passion that you love, then it’s never a dull moment, and you’re always in control. And as a Sag, those two reasons are reason enough!
WoW , we all are the same , Im happy that i see im not the only lost person , lol , you know whats the problem with our decision making for career ? i figure it out that we are capable of doing all kind of job and be good at it , but it makes us indecisive cause all the time we think we can do something better than what we do right now , some thing more exciting or more money or higher class job , these are issues we are dealing , i still can’t stick to one job cause i always have this problem , always i think mmm i can do a better job , god damn it .
Love being a traveling nurse…. That way I meet different people almost daily…… Love to teach, love learning even more(Lvn now going for my RN- BSN) …. My phosiliphy is “learn something new everyday” and I do…..life’s great when you can figure it out and follow that path. My ultimate goal would be a nurse on a cruise ship…… ahhh calgon take me away…
Hey there, OMG I so feel you guys. I want to be a writer but it’s hard to break into. I’ve worked with kids but got sick so I quit, worked in tourism, worked in retail. LOL Lots of stuff.
It’s so nice to see that i’m not the only crazy person out there!!!
I’ve changed my career so many times, That I think we should all BE ACTORS!! Like that we could BE a different person all the time…:)
Woohoo, i thought i was the only one ripping my hair out choosing a major..but then i found Biological Anthropology <3 seriously..the best. intellectually stimulating, i get to learn and understand different cultures, our human biology, plus getting to travel. Anthropology is perfect!
Hey there Saggies! I earned my B.A in foreign language teaching, and I always been into foreign languages since I was 9!.. now i’m pursuing my M.A in linguistics.. When i’m done with a language I just pass to another one I’d say :).. So far I can speak in English, Italian, German, Turkish and a little Russian. Im gonna be a linguist and an instructor at the same time which would also allow me to travel :)).
Wow! Reading all of these posts has enlightened me. It’s not me, but a lot of Sagitarians that get bored with their jobs as well. I’m 37, mother of one, still a newly wed. I’ve got a BA Degree in business, worked many office jobs, they were boring BUT it paid my bills and allowed me to save and earn mileage. I used those miles – traveled half of the US states, Europe twice and Africa once. A lot of those trips were short and I stayed in budgeted hotels. I still want and plan to see three more continents, just to see the Sydney Opera House, Great Wall of China and Christ the Redeemer statue. I know I will, with time and money saved up again. I suggest find which area you are drawn to the most – teaching, nursing, owning a business, etc and go for it. I’ve been in several different fields – HR, business, etc. I’m currently writing a book on helping others, guess it’s in our nature to want to help. But to help pay bills, I think I’m going to switch from the Office Mngr job to one that’s in HR, helping people find jobs -and hopefully get my book published and write more. WE can all look back one day at our lives and say we were not boring, we truly lived it up and tried many things. Trust me, I have non-Sag friends and family members who have never really traveled or took a risk. So, don’t beat yourselves up too much. Young people, keep your college degree not so specific and try different things. The advantage you have, is TIME. You can change a degree later if you don’t like your job. Good luck to you all. Remember to Believe – just focus on what you want and you’ll get it. Even if that focus changes again in a yr or two, it’s that nature of our personalities so just accept it and go with the flow
I think we should all be actors!!!
So like that we wouldn’t have to choose!
