What are some good careers for (those of us labeled as) perfectionists? Any jobs with low burnout rates?
Former social worker/case manager here...it wasn't the people/situations that burned me out, it was the bureaucracy. Too many pieces of paper and not enough time to complete them! I use the word "complete," because I found that said papers tended to be more useful to others when there were no blanks left. However, filling in all those blanks tended to get a fella behind! Social workers/case managers who had higher productivity appeared to be cutting corners somewhere. I don't say this to offend any of my brothers and sisters out there who by chance DIDN'T cut corners...it's just what I observed where I worked. I don't know how to half-do things...it's not in my nature. I don't think I overdo things, I just want them to be accurate and/or useful. So, any thoughts? Espcially anyone else labeled as "perfectionist"...any careers out there in which you find yourselves happy and thriving?
