Your natural discipline and intelligence will give you a variety of career opportunities to explore, although narrowing your choices down to one may be easier said than done. Your attention to detail and ability to understand others could be a perfect fit for administration or management. Similarly, your intellectual pursuits may lead you to a career in education, teaching or research. On the other hand, your gifts for communication may lead you toward the political arena, much like Benjamin Franklin, who was also born on January 17th. If the entertainment industry is appealing, you may find making others laugh is your passion, such as the case for long-time entertainer Betty White, another of your celebrity birthday twins.
