In my AP Psychology class, we took a test to find out if we were either right brained: creative and intuitive, left brained: organized and systematic, or both. This test caused me to question some things, would a left brained person have a far better advantage over a right brained person when it comes to achieving higher scores in school or finding a more advanced, well-paying job and would this effect them in the long run financially?
Right brained people are more artistic and learn from pictures, drawings, and colors. Most career choices in the field of arts such as, artists, musicians, and designers, have a majority of the people struggling to find jobs that will support them in the future. In today’s economy, the year 2015, jobs are rapidly disappearing, like water in California, so that means it would be increasingly more difficult to attain a job as an artist/creative person. If I were to ask my parents if I could go to New York City and try my luck as an actress after I finished High School, they would call me crazy and say not in a million years. Why? They know that I would struggle because the chance that I will become a famous actress and have a good financial status is 1 in 1,505,000. The worst odds in the world, right? So why do some creative, right-brained people keep pursuing their dream jobs? Maybe because they actually might work hard enough and over a long period of time become well known for what they do. Or, they may give half-effort attempts in trying to succeed and when they fail, live off of well-fare. Although, there is another result that could happen which is when the right minded people do not succeed in that category of work, they may try working at a job that does not make a lot of sense and is not enjoyable. For example, an artist becoming an accountant.
Left Brained people, on the other hand, like the math,science, and structure of things and situations. There are well-paying jobs out there, such as a doctor or orthodontist, that are overrun with left-brained workers. Majority of school is made up of critical thinking and if a person is able to use their skill of critical thinking, they are able to pass their quizzes and tests with high scores, go to college because of a high GPA, and have a higher percentage to succeed in life. So, yes, being left brained seems to reap the best benefits when it comes down to creating a career, but there always is that 1 in 1,505,000 chance of becoming well known so people should not get all their hopes up when they happen to have a creative thinking process.
