If you have a Scorpio as a family member (Which I do!) They are loyal to the family and can be considered a faithful friend. From an early age, they will catch up on the family statistics and will find out who to avoid and who to push further. They will stand up for their close family members, no matter who they are to them. Scorpios love spending quality family time, as long as it isn’t in the way of their work. When making crucial life plans, they will incorporate their family into them, but remove them as soon as they are added if they crossed them. 

Good careers for Scorpios are ones where they are independent and can do things by themselves. Scorpios generally do wonderful things in jobs related to psychology, and anything that includes working with people. Of course not in a team or with anybody else.
