Careers of a Lemming
So okay I am lemming-like first thing in the am ... I even filled in the secondary 51 item questionnaire, the education level and the skills questionnaire ... I must really want to know what careers to consider ... [smirk] ..
So ... the instructions are 1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top 12 results.
....and guess what ...most of these I have already done, am doing or have considered ... The A, B and C levels denote the level of skill I have in each area. I included the first 25 plus selected others I found interesting and/or amusing ... who knew I had the skills to be a DJ for example.
And my results are ...
1. Business Systems Analyst A Reluctantly done
2. Computer Trainer B When I was a sys admin back int he 80's
3. Video Game Developer A I tried to form a group to develop games .. remember chelidon?
