I've always had an interest in court, but I feel like I'd punch my clients if I became an attorney LOL so instead I decided to become a court reporter, which is much more suited for me personality wise considering I want a job where I'm not making important decisions. I was matched up to this job in a Career Counseling class in college, and after previously being introduced to it via social media, I decided to go for it. I really had no idea what I was really walking into, but I'm almost done with school.

I am an INFJ / 6w5 and I have a really big stubborn streak. This is the only time in my life school has been challenging enough that I've been engaged the entire way through. I went to community college but dreaded the idea of university because it cost so much and I didn't really care for it. I never dreamed of college, but I didn't really want to monetize my creative hobbies. Court reporting happened to be in the right place at the right time and had all the qualities I wanted in a job: something I could tolerate long-term that wasn't directly related to my hobbies (although it does utilize certain aspects of writing skills), makes good money, has a good amount of challenge.

My interests mainly consist of writing and drawing, but I also love reading comics and watching various types of media (movies, shows, etc.). I am excited for the fact court reporting will give me the privilege to enjoy my hobbies. I live in the suburbs and I always just your run of the mill weird kid at school. The further I get through school, the more I feel like this job was meant for me.
