What do INTP's who can not afford a college education do with them selves?

As an INTP I end up analyzing every company I work for and see that many products are useless and not needed. As an INTP I have evaluated the economy on every level and concluded that my goal is to reduce GDP but I must still obtain a living. I have been working in nursing for 11 years and found that the American health system is no unethical and misguided that I refuse to get another nursing job. Many large companies give a personality test that if I am honest on I will not be selected. I would be great for certain analytical jobs but can not possibly afford a masters degree. This is all the tip of the ice berg so tell me what you think. Low level employees should not analyze things they have no ability to change but my mind never stops.

    Your issue isn't that you're an INTP.

    And while I agree with you about the American health system--and I've worked on its edge for 14 years as well as having personal experience with it--you may be disappointed to find out that most other systems in America--political, finance, etc.--are just as unethical, if not more so. At least in medicine--in your case as a nurse--you can find satisfaction in helping patients who need and value your help.

    Still, if you think an analytical job is for you, pursue it.

    Good luck.
