20 Great Careers for Multitalented People: Inspiration for Those With Too Many Interests

Are you someone with many talents and interests? Do you love discovery and variety? Do you enjoy solving problems?



And do you get bored - even feel trapped - at a job where there’s no more to learn?



If you answered yes, finding the right career has been discouraging. Let’s change that.



I think I know you. In fact, I’m one of you. I call us ‘Scanners.’ Some people call us

Polymaths or Renaissance people, or TMA (Too Many Aptitudes) or just multi-talented. I

wrote a book about us called Refuse to Choose. It’s been called "The owner’s manual for creative thinkers.” It’s a good book, full of career suggestions for every different type

of Scanner I could find.



But I knew there were even more great jobs out there in the big world so I asked all the

Scanners I know, “What was the best job you ever had?”



The response was fabulous! They’re still coming in! I hope they never stop! And the

answers were so unexpected. They’ll get your thinking out of a rut right away.



Here’s the first group of my favorite answers. They’ll give you fresh, unexpected ideas.



If you need a bit of inspiration to find work that will be a joy for you, this is a great

place to start!
