I already know what I want to be, a network security consultant. I've pretty much put every effort to get into the field. I work on computers (geek squad, i gotta start somewhere) I'm going for my associates in network security. I spend a lot of time reading, working on, and learning about computers.

I'd really like to work for a large contractor such as Honeywell or the like.

I want to be a psychologist, so at least I hit quite a few things in that field based on someone else's little test. I still think all of these tests aren't going to help anyone. You should be the one deciding, not some random career test.

I love how you got Curator above Psychiatrist with that objective High five for going for psychology though.

Some of these things such as musician, special effects technician, and the other assorted ones to do with theater or film are quite accurate and are actually things that interest me. Others make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Fashion Designer? Come on. I don't know shit about fashion.

I actually found this test quite helpful . Before , all I really knew was that I wanted to have a desk job , and I wanted to be an author .Now with the help of this survey I have decided to go for being an editor , while being a writer in my spare time .

Of course , some things don't make sense at all , like potter (they still have those?)

 

[rottenbutter]

Some of these make no sense whatsoever! They're just loopy! On mine it went through law and business, down to lorry driver! What the hell is that? On smallharmlesskitten's it goes down from jobs in media, to carpet cleaner and vending machine servicer! Explain?

All career test are like this. I'm not exactly sure why though.

I think the way it works is that it does the jobs it feels you will like , and lists them in some order based on you answers and the amount it pays , putting menial jobs at the end for the kind of people who would have to take those . If you really want , you can make the results more accurate , on the right of the screen you should see a tab or something that let's you take more question to get better results . Also on the right hand side is another tab that asks you about your skills , which will also improve the results .

Go to SANS and get a GSE. Get a CCNA. Be prepared for a big spend to get into this industry.

So...my second best choice is being a Director, but those skills don't translate down well enough that I should be a Special Effects Technician before a Website Designer? Oh, and before I start programming for Google I should really consider studying tribes in the Amazon. But only after I've pushed through the crew ranks of your average Broadway musical.

Riiiight. But I am really going to enjoy telling people that if the Desktop Publishing gig doesn't work out, I'm going to write for Marmaduke.

Thank you, online feelings poll. I certainly feel enriched.

BTW, I've worked in retail my whole life. You tell me, Internet...

[Anarchemitis]

The mods don't much care for List threads.
Also, I don't need to go on a survey that needs an account when there are the exact same things that people can participate on anonymously. I'd become an animator anyways, which is a description that's vague at best.
