Career Matchmaker Meme
Ganked from several peoples on the flist:
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 results.
1. Pipefitter
2. Steamfitter
3. Construction tradesperson
4. Bricklayer / stonemason
5. Drywaller
6. Plasterer
7. Insulator
8. Zookeeper
9. Veterinarian
10. Concrete mason
Yikes. What am I doing at a university, then??
Other fun options it gave me included vending machine servicer, airport ground crew, sprinkler system installer, stuntperson and dancer (How'd that get in there??). I think the problem is that the test only asked what you'd like to do, not what you think you'd be good at!
Edit: I took it again, this time answering according to my actual skill set. "Vending machine servicer" came up #1 this time, followed by "auto detailer." Interestingly, "anthropologist" made the list, at #33! Taking the option to answer more questions, the top results changed to "stenographer," "historian," and "anthropologist," but "vending machine servicer" still came up in the top five.
