Don't believe those career tests... rmw1 September 15 2007, 16:51:37 UTC

... They told me I should be a court stenographer. Booooring.

Career questions are always difficult. For some reason a bunch of my friends are questioning their careers, right now.

Guess what they told me I would be?? A fish farmer!! As ridiculous as it sounded then, it even sounds a bit romantic now.. :D Sigh... But a tile setter? I think it's because you're so exact - that's the only reason I can think of. Don't worry! You'll find something! (apartment wise, not tile setting wise ;) ) And remember that priest from Poznan who wished you many good husbands? ;)

That would be kinda...interesting? You could boat around in your little man-made lake and trian the fish to do tricks?

I'm still waiting for those many good husbands, there's a lot of things I could have being done around the house! Centipede exterminater for one, or at least relocater.

Great, I just took it again to see if it was sure and "magician" and pet-groomer were in there too. I'm doomed.

Re: Don't believe those career tests... rmw1 September 16 2007, 18:05:26 UTC

Wow, they have "magician" as an option?

I like bunnies, maybe I should look into it.

Wow...yeah, that would be really boring. I can just picture a little Rose answering the question "and what do YOU want to be when you grow up?" A court stenographer, of course!

I think I'm finding that it's a lot more complicated than just a pre-programmed evaluation of your likes and dislikes. Then again, I have no idea what I want to do, so there you go!

Re: Don't believe those career tests... rmw1 September 16 2007, 18:07:00 UTC

Yeah, there are many things that go into what you really want to do, everything from what you truly enjoy, to what you can make a living at. It isn't easy no matter what, though. Do you want to do something artsy for your career? Do you want a job that pays the bills (without being too soul-crushing), while you pursue other things?

Re: Don't believe those career tests... opheliafloats September 16 2007, 19:31:10 UTC

I think that's it - if I can't have a "dream career" then I want something that I can do that will allow me time to do more fulfilling things in my spare time. I've been thinking about that a lot, and asking people; it seems like teachers are so burnt out by the end of the day that they basically only have free time during the summers, which *is* a perk, but I have to think about it.
