Question about English (US)
A: I'm going to study Buisness administration. I want to be a consultant or analyst.
B: I thought you might like doing something physical or dynamic.
But what you purse actually sounds very "settled".
Does "settled" fit here? What other words could I use there?

maybe "sedentary" or "inactive" would fit better. the use of settled here kind of confuses me.

@oliv_ia Thank you!! But could I ask you how it confused you?!

@Hana-1228 when I think of "settled" I usually think of the meaning like "reached an agreement" or to "settle down somewhere". I don't see it used in this context often at all.
