Finding the right career can definitely be a journey, but here are a few insights that might help: 1. **Fulfilling Careers**: Many Type 9s thrive in roles that foster harmony and connection, such as counseling, teaching, human resources, or creative arts. Anything that allows for collaboration and peaceful environments can be really fulfilling 🌸. 2. **Navigating Decision-Making**: Try breaking down decisions into smaller steps.
