I'm obsessed with career assessment tests. Though I'll never really have the time to do the schooling for half of the results, it's still pretty groovy to see what I'd be suited for. (meme originally posed by
gynocide)
1. Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the results (don't do this, it's hella annoying to copy+paste this crap)
5. Put the careers you have seriously considered in bold (and if you're me, strikeout any you wouldn't do. And add any witty commentary next to some listings because you're just killing time until Cait gets home from work and don't feel like studying/playing Persona 3/SA lurking/anything else)
