Jumping on board the meme train...

[pen_grunt]

My, but this is going around:

1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top ten (or 15, or 20) results.

And my results:
1. Website Designer
2. Gerontologist
3. Artist--there was, obviously, no drawing test portion to this.
4. Critic
5. Special Effects Technician
6. Writer
7. Translator
8. Director of Photography
9. Naturopath--I think this means "hippie"
10. Dancer--They can't possibly know how woefully uncoordinated I am, but I would *like* to dance.
11. Makeup Artist
12. Inventor
13. Psychologist
14. Musician--Sure, I COULD whip out the sax again, but why?
15. Photographer

The two highlighted were my majors in college. I 'spose if I want to get technical I've done all of the following in my current job: 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 13.
I guess I'm classified as one of the "artsy" people. I feel kind of bad answering questions like, "I like authority" with a resounding no, and admitting that, no, I really DON'T want to work with disabled people. I'm fairly sure that makes me 90% a horrible person.

Naturopath--I think this means "hippie"

Heh. I agree. I have an ex who recently became a holistic nutritionist and works in a naturopathic medical office. Naturally, I reserve the right to tease her about her hippie-ass ways.

Meanwhile, this program apparently decided that I'm all artsy, too, but for some reason felt that I'd really enjoy a career in taxidermy.

I suppose taxidermy *could* be considered artsy...you know, if you decided to get all creative about posing the animals:
http://www.customcreaturetaxidermy.com/ (for an example).

I like the curve balls thrown in...I'm "artsy" but I'd also like a career in Gerontology. Maybe there's some creative posing involved there too. Heh.

Look on the bright side: If you said you'd kill the disabled for cash, that would make you a 110% horrible person.

*ponders*

Nope, I'm pretty sure that wasn't a question on the test.

I would have remembered that one.
