ripped still bleeding from [livejournal.com profile] firecat:

1. Go to www.careercruising.com
2. ## instructions removed because the password was shared without approval.##
3. Take the 'Career Matchmaker' questions at the upper left corner
(you need to pick a name there first so the test can address you properly :)
4. Post the top 20 results.


i love the variety here, which is representative of who i am:

1. Computer Programmer (oh look, it picked my actual career)
2. Cabinetmaker (yup, i actually contemplate this now and then; for boats in specific)
3. Plumber (not so much, but now that the programming mojo has waned, i am thinking of trades -- but electrician more than plumber)
4. Sign Maker (i make signs in photoshop, does that count?)
5. Dental Lab Tech (ewww)
6. Electronics Assembler (too fiddly to do as a career, but for fun, sure)
7. Office Machine Repairer (if it's broke, i'll (try to) fix it)
8. Multimedia Developer (yup)
9. Tool and Die Maker (never thought about this one)
10. Machinist (would like to learn, yes)
11. Makeup Artist (could be fun if it were for theatre/film. even though i don't care for makeup for myself, i love the art of fakery for theatrical purposes. also, latex!)
12. Taxidermist (firecat had this one too. is there a shortage? NO, DO NOT LIKE.)
13. Paleontologist (could be interesting)
14. Business Systems Analyst (been there, done that; do not like anymore if ever)
15. Upholsterer (sure would like to know how, but not as a career)
16. Musical Instrument Builder and Repairer (yup, can see this too)
17. Truck Driver (i am not even kidding when i think about this -- long distance, especially)
18. Veterinarian (i once really wanted to be one and let myself be talked out of it)
19. Veterinary Technician (i've done some of those tasks in volunteer jobs)
20. Web Developer (done that too, still like it, but am a bit behind the curve now)

ooo -- the "landmark" pwd makes me think of "landmark forum," which scares me. my #1 was architect -- yay. but #20? boilermaker. a career i had entirely, and perhaps unjustifiably, overlooked.

5. Dental Lab Tech (ewww)

I don't think that would involve putting your fingers in anyone's mouth. I think the lab techs do stuff like making a bite guard from the mold the dentist and her assistant made of my teeth.

Dental Lab Tech (ewww)

yeah i know. i just don't like things to do with dentists. (why did i write "teeth" there the first time around? beats me. i have a dentist phobia, maybe that made me write "teeth" so i could avoid writing "dentist"? *heh*.)
