After profiling some great careers for introverts late last month, we had to provide similar guidance for extroverts, too.
 

In the article below, College Transitions, a firm focused on college planning, highlights the definition of an extrovert and also provides context for the terms “extrovert” and “introvert.” One caveat for ambitious international students like you, from our coaches?: It is not necessary, or even advisable, to “force” yourself into one of these two boxes.

Best,
