Today's Meme #2: That Career Quiz

[thatcrazycajun]

Tediously taken from half my f-list:
1. Go to www.careercruising.com
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top ten results. (Below, with my comments in parentheses.)

—————

1. Costume Designer (Well, at least I know lotsa fannish types who could give me tips...)
2. Special Effects Technician
3. Desktop Publisher (Been there, done that.)
4. Fashion Designer (Nahh, don't hate women enough to qualify.)
5. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator (If I can just get my figure drawing up to snuff and impress someone at DC or Marvel...)
6. Animator (Same notation as #5 for Disney et al.)
7. Actor (longtime fantasy job, but I always dreaded rejection too much to really go after it)
8. Electrician (Well, at least I have some knowledge of what that entails; growing up with a carpenter dad has its advantages.)
9. Anthropologist (Only if I can be one like Dr. Jane [now James].)
10. Makeup Artist
11. Set Designer
12. Magician
13. Artist (One assumes they mean gallery-style, as opposed to, say, caricaturist; lotsa freedom, little steady pay, which is why I decades ago chose to train as #14.)
14. Graphic Designer (what I supposedly have been for 22+ years now)
15. Comedian
16. Critic (gee, I seem to spend a lot of time doing that anyway...)
17. Communications Specialist
18. Writer (avocation yes, profession not likely; same problem as #7 above)
19. Musician (Define "musician," please.)
20. Print Journalist (Actually did that as a student, in high school and college.)
21. Musical Instrument Builder and Repairer (If you can't play 'em, fix 'em, eh?)
22. Translator
23. Sign Maker (been there, done that)
24. Medical Illustrator (hmm...I dunno, might be kinda barfy)
25. Composer (could be...now I just gotta re-learn notation)
26. Upholsterer (HUH?!)
27. Industrial Designer (Jonathan Ive, look out!)
28. Plumber (Great money, lousy hours. Plus I don't show my butt-crack enough.)
29. Technical Writer
30. Activist (Dipped my toe in so far, but nobody's offered me a salary to do it as yet.)
31. Computer Animator
32. Public Policy Analyst (again, I seem to do that alla time for free anyhow...)
33. Furniture Finisher
34. Electronics Assembler (mmm...soldering guns...this could be fun!)
35. Dental Lab Tech (As Buffy would say, "A world of euuww!")
36. Picture Framer (this was actually one of my dad's jobs outside the firehouse for decades)
37. Cabinetmaker
38. Bicycle Mechanic (Insert Monty Python "Bicycle Repairman" joke here.)
39. Psychologist (My mom was a family therapist; is that close enough? Gods know I've spent enough time seeing shrinks...!)
40. Art / Music Therapist (Now THIS sounds promising...)
