Using the Username 'nycareers', and the password 'landmark', you can then use the "Career Matchmaker" portion of their website. It's a quickie quiz that recommends careers that would fit your interests.
I got:
1.Agricultural Engineer
2.Chemical Engineer
3.Mechanical Engineering Tech
4.Civil Engineering Tech
5.Aerospace Engineer
6.Mechanical Engineer
7.Civil Engineer
8.Petroleum Engineer
9.Biomedical Engineer
10.Astronaut
....
Kind of...sharply focused, at least for the top nine. Oddly, Materials/Metallurgical Engineer was only #14 out of forty recommended professions, but still higher than geologist, physicist, forensics specialist, computer tech support, pilot, mathematician, historian, home inspector, computer programmer, and race car mechanic (roughly in that order). Professor/teacher didn't even make the list, unless you argue that it tends to be inherently part of a career in physics, history, etc.
On the other hand, the test did an excellent job of weeding out some professions that I have no interest in (interior decorator, CEO, athlete) so maybe they've got some good ideas. I bet agricultural engineers get to spend more time outside.
