Gotta Go To Work
Snatched from all over.
1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions.
4. Post the top umpty results:
The careers I’ve worked in are bold. Careers I've considered (if only during irrational moments in college) are italicized.
(This was actually kind of scarily accurate.)
- Desktop Publisher
- Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator (the utter lack of drawing/drafting skills is a drawback)
- Animator
- Writer
- Critic
- Market Research Analyst
- Print Journalist
- Medical Illustrator
- Translator (I'm actually quite bad with foreign languages)
- Political Aide
- Activist
- Graphic Designer (I love this kind of work, but being color blind meant I couldn't seriously pursue it)
- Artist
- Computer Animator
- Anthropologist
- Editor
- Archivist
- Casting Director
- Comedian (yes, I considered this, in, like, high school, but back then I had stage fright. Also: not funny enough.)
- Health Records Professional
- Historian
- Composer
- Musician (shut up. I was an almost-competent bass player!)
- Public Relations Specialist
- Website Designer (sadly, yes, because I was the most web-savvy person in the company. I made this website, many years ago, though it's changed a bit. I quickly realized web design was not the job for me.)
- Communications Specialist
- Public Policy Analyst
- Actor
- Fashion Designer
- Criminologist (!!!)
- Special Effects Technician
- Costume Designer
- Interior Designer
- Potter (tempting. But do potters get health insurance? Hmmm.)
- Craftsperson (I like how generic this one is.)
- Medical Secretary
- Set Designer
- Postal Clerk
- Industrial Designer
- Technical Writer
I'm surprised it doesn't mention advertising copywriter, which I'm very temperamentally suited to, except for the whole part where it makes me feel like my soul is dissolving.
